Members urge exploring composting partnerships with nearby municipalities

A committee member raised composting as a potential outreach and service area, pointing to examples in nearby municipalities and suggesting partnership rather than recreating programs from scratch. The member recommended researching existing food-waste programs and asking whether the committee could promote or join those efforts locally.

Members noted the library and local plant-sale groups already host composting education; partnering with those groups or nearby municipalities could speed implementation. "There's a lot of opportunity to encourage compost," one member said, and members agreed to compile information on regional programs and present options at a future meeting.
