Description

The City will host a Zoom webinar to have a discussion about what happens to Cambridge's waste, why it's important to recycle and compost, and how you can help us reach our trash reduction goals. We'll dive deep into topics like:

  1.  What is anaerobic digestion and why does the City send food waste from the compost program there?
  2. Where do recyclables go after the City collects it? And how do we actually know it's recycled?
  3. What is the City doing to encourage reduce and reuse?
  4. Whatever questions you may have!

This webinar will also allow residents to ask questions or provide feedback on waste programs. Register for the webinar here.
