Zero Waste Resources

The Town Council is dedicated to protecting the health, safety, and well-being of our residents and the natural environment. We are committed to addressing environmental safety concerns through responsible policy, education, and community engagement. Together, with the assistance of the Zero Waste Advisory Board, we strive to chart a sustainable path toward zero waste by reducing landfill use, promoting waste prevention, and encouraging the reuse and repurposing of materials. Through these efforts, we aim to build a cleaner, healthier, and more resilient community for generations to come.
