Solid Waste & Recycling ordinance review and re-write: Committee continued with definitions. We ended the review at the definition of "Rubbish". Brian will look into how "multi-unit housing" is defined in Gray. Also the definition for "Hazardous Waste" should match the definition listed in state documentation.

Earth Day! What should be done! Brian do some planning and will coordinate any committee activities.
Compost bins: Jewel will poll a few gardening organizations to see if there would be enough interest in compost bins for the town to order some for spring sale at the transfer station.
