Description
Long-term organics diversion can depend on local processing capacity. This action assesses whether Town-owned land could host a permanent composting facility, considering site suitability, environmental constraints, operational needs, and community impacts. Local composting capacity can reduce hauling distances, improve program reliability, and support broader participation by making organics diversion more convenient and cost-effective. Success looks like a completed siting assessment with clear criteria, identification of feasible sites (or a clear rationale if none are suitable), and next-step recommendations for permitting, partnerships, or alternative solutions.
