City presents plan to residents to move a waste transfer station to East Akron
09:42 AM Jun 21, 2024 CDT
Sharon Connor led an optional pledge of allegiance
A WTS is a midpoint for waste to be stored before being transported to a further final point such as a land fill
She said the new site must be approved by the City Planning Commission on July 12th and City Council.
She said the site was chosen because of low land costs, distance from residents, and proximity to the highway
HERE ARE THE UPCOMING COMMUNITY OUTREACH EVENTS
Shevlen said community members should attend WM's tours of their modern WTS facilities and said new facilities emit less odor
Chris Ludle (Service Director) said there will be a separate storm water system for the WTS that will direct water directly to filtration facilities and away from local waterways
She said they are building a 25-30k SQ FT park and asked residents to join the park planning committee to begin construction in 2025
She said the Mayors Office, Akron Victims Assistance, and other donors have organized and donated to a new gun violence assistance to help gun violence victims
She said Keep Akron Beautiful will be checking recycling bins for contamination and distributing flyers with instructions about how to recycle
She said fencing has been constructed around Reservoir Park community center and demolition of the addition will begin soon
She said the 150th anniversary programs are continuing
