3. Green Dumpster Program
Debbie York informed the commission members about the opportunity to participate in a pilot
dumpster sticker program. The City of Haltom City has a grant for this program and has invited
several local cities to participate as well. The purpose of the project is to address litter that may
be coming from commercial dumpsters. Another webinar will be scheduled next month to provide
more details. Basically, the program would involve:
• Selecting a section of town where typically there are commercial dumpsters.
• Assembling a group of volunteers or staff
• Surveying the area to get a baseline look at the dumpsters
• Researching any ordinances that address maintenance of dumpsters
• Contacting the businesses to share this information and placing the stickers
• Encouraging businesses to recycle, if possible
• Returning to see if anything has changed
