Recycling and composting continue to be topics of discussion for the Sea Cliff Board of Trustees.
Recycling discussion continues S.C. trustees look ahead to contract expiration By JUlIA CAPITEllI jcapitelli@liherald.com
Sea Cliff Trustees considered ways to ensure recycling effectiveness and methods to inform residents of the village’s recycling process as they continued their recycling discussion at the latest Board of Trustees public conference meeting. Waste related topics have come up at every board meeting since residents first voiced concerns about recycling and an interest in a village composting program at the public meeting on June 8. Trustees further deliberated ways to inform residents about the recycling process at the Monday night meeting. Trustees looked ahead to the expiration of the village’s contract with Waste Management, the company that acquired Winters Bros. in 2024 and handles Sea Cliff ’s waste. The contract is up in October 2027. Trustees began discussing potential chang-
es to the village’s recycling process. Sea Cliff currently uses single-stream recycling, meaning residents can place all recyclables in one bin. Mayor Elena Villafane explained at the village’s Environmental Conservation Commission meeting on July 16 that single-stream was originally chosen under the reasoning that more residents would recycle if the process was easier. She said Monday night that the ECC has said that a dual-stream process, where recyclables are separated into two categories, might be more effective. Village Administrator Bruce Kennedy added that single-stream may be more effective in getting people to comply, but dualstream may be more effective in getting recyclables to their proper destination.
