RES 89-04 RECYCLINGRESOLUTION NO. 89-04 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WINSLOW, WASHINGTON, ENCOURAGING THE USE OF RECYCLING AS A MEANS OF REDUCING SOLID WASTE BURDENS ON PUBLIC AND PRIVATE RESOURCES WHEREAS, it has come to the attention of the City that recy- cling of materials is an important means of reducing solid waste burdens on public and private resources, and WHEREAS, the Winslow City Council wishes to encourage its use, and WHEREAS, the Winslow City Council considers recycling be in the public interest, THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WINSLOW, WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: 1. The City of Winslow encourages its citizens to recycle as a means of reducing the volume of solid waste going into landfills, and as a means of reducing the amount of new resources being consumed in the manufacture of packaging materials. 2. The City of Winslow calls upon the Kitsap County Com- missioners to quickly establish recycling centers in convenient locations throughout the county, and to work with garbage haulers to implement curbside pick-up wherever possible. 3. The City of Winslow recognizes that its citizens, and indeed those of Bainbridge Island as a whole stand to suffer a large increase in the cost of their garbage disposal as a result of the Hansville landfill closure and that vigorous measures are required to reduce the amount of solid waste that is transported to distant landfills. 4. It shall be the future policy of the City of Winslow to favor establishment of a suitable and convenient location within the city, perhaps on city land, on which a recycling facility can be placed, and where citizens can bring materials for recycling. 5. The City of Winslow will aid in this effort by en- couraging where practicable all its departments to separate their trash into paper, computer paper, aluminum and glass, and by directing the Public Works department to periodically transport the city's collected recyclables to available transfer stations until such time as a recycling facility is available for con- venient use inside Winslow.
