Dear Marlboro Residents,

Your Select Board strongly supports recycling and the decision the town has made over the years to support a local recycling depot (drop-off area) currently located at the Highway Department area on route 9. Over the past few years there have been issues with recycling being left on the ground when the containers were full, the dumping of "non-recycling" trash, and placing of recyclable materials in the wrong container causing "contamination". All of these issues contribute to a workload for the highway department that takes time away from their main road maintenance duties, causes general disbursement of material due to winds, rain, and other weather conditions, and can increase costs for the town when the containers are cross contaminated with recyclables (i.e. – plastics are placed in the "cardboard & paper containers", plastic bags are placed in the "comingled" container, and paper is included in the "comingled" container.

Your Select Board continues to review possible solutions and would like to reach out to the Town's residents to get your input into solving these and other issues. To this end, your Select Board has called a Single Issue (recycling depot) Special Select Board meeting on Saturday, May 13, 2023, from 2:00-4:00pm at the Marlboro Community Center. This meeting will also be a HYBRID meeting with participants able to join via ZOOM should they wish to do so. The link for the ZOOM meeting can be found on the Select Board page of the town's website < https://marlborovt.us/boards-minutes/select-board/ > just above the section listing the minutes. The link and phone number (for those who wish to dial in – no internet need) is also posted in the "What's Happening" section on the website's home page < https://marlborovt.us/ >.

If you have any questions regarding how to attend the meeting, please reach out to the Select Board @ marlboroselectboard@gmail.com or reach out to the SB Assistant (Nick Morgan) at the Town Office (802-254-2181).
