Motivation (why are you proposing this?)

  • We need to have protocol in place for dealing with trash after Sunday dinners

Proposal summary

  • Trash and recycling can't go out until Monday night, so we have to make sure we store it properly until then. Here's the details:
    • Trash and recycling get bagged and tied, then put in their respective bins at the front of the space. If there's no room in these bins, we put them in the large chest and make note of this in the appropriate chats.
    • Compost gets put in a black liner bag (big black bag), tied, and put in the compost bin. 
  • DON'T LET BAGS GET TOO HEAVY! Keep them around 25 lbs max. Not everyone can lift that much, and DSNY will leave the bags on the street and fine us if they're super heavy.
