SOLID WASTE PROGRAMS AND DATA
The Solid Waste Coordinator met with the manager of Huntington Square Apartments to discuss multifamily
recycling. The 324 unit property is interested in the program and is willing to implement services on a trial basis.
(The property finally conceded to the pressures of tenants wanting to recycle.)
ARC Disposal is reseamhing automated collection systems for household refuse, and asked if the Village would be
interested in participating in a pilot study. The Village is interested in learning more about this method, and the
benefits to the residential collection program. The Coordinator will go to Milwaukee with ARC representatives to
observe an automated collection, system.
OTHER BUSINESS
The Commission members were invited to volunteer at the October 28, Household Hazardous Waste Collection in
Arlington Heights.
Chairman Westiake suggested to the members that perhaps the Commission should consider expanding their role to
include other environmental issues; storm water management, Clean Air Act, purchasing of green products, etc. He
gave examples of other communities that have Environmental Commissions, and identified issues/concerns these
Commissions are involved with. He believes the Commission can serve an important role in advising officials and
educating residents.
Although there was some question regarding the Commissions authority to do so, and acknowledgement that the
Board would need to authorize any expansion of duties, the members supported Chairman Westlake to do
additional research in this area.
NEXT MEETING
The next meeting was scheduled for Thursday, November 16, at 7:30 p.m. at the Public Works Facility, 1700 West
Central Road.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 8:10 p.m.
