Yay! We have a date that works with the County and with the Inn – Saturday, June 29. Details to follow later.  Of course, we will need volunteers!  You all always come through – I’m counting on you, again <3

Here’s the letter from Cody Lillstrom (jlillstrom@nullbouldercounty.org) Zero Waste Program Manager with the County

It’s that time of year again! I am starting to plan for our annual mountain communities Spring Clean-Up Projects (SCUP). Last year Gold Hill achieved a landfill diversion rate of 50%! It would be great if we could increase that number this year!

The County is continuing the tiered subsidy for the SCUP based on population, with varying rates for incorporated versus unincorporated communities (to create equal distribution of funds amongst the communities). Gold Hill’s subsidy is equal to $1,095.00 for waste diversion resources. Boulder County’s subsidy only supports waste diversion: if the town wants a trash dumpster they must pay for it themselves: we recommend charging residents if they are dropping off landfill materials (trash) to help pay for the trash dumpster.
