Posted on August 15, 2015 by Admin | Leave a comment

In 2013, Green Acton presented six ideas to the Board of Selectmen on the next best steps on how to reduce material waste in Acton, and thus move the town towards a zero-waste vision.

  1. A Swap Shed,
  2. Recycling at Recreation Areas
  3. Better Communications about Recycling
  4. Require Private Haulers to Report Tonnages,
  5. Explore Trash Pricing Options
  6. Extended Producer Responsibility Resolution

Here’s what the selectmen decided in 2013 about these initiatives.

  • Monthly Green Acton Meetings are usually on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at the Acton Memorial Library. This is a great way to meet other Green Acton members and plug in to the work we are doing.
