  • how you currently manage your waste
  • your opinions about waste reduction proposals
  • how you would like to help promote Zero Waste in Amherst
Also, public input to our recently released Solid Waste Master Plan (see http://www.amherstma.gov/DocumentCenter/View/35741) will be accepted until September 30.  Your feedback about the plan’s proposals, including suggestions for promoting recycling and waste reduction in Amherst, can be submitted viathe RRMC survey, sent to publicworks@amherstma.gov, or presented at a meeting of the RRMC.
