Litter Committee
Teresa Gallagher
Happy New Year!
How is everyone? The Litter Committee hasn’t met since the before the pandemic. And even before that, the meetings were short with just brief updates on the Clean Sweep and Adopt-a-Street programs. And then we lost Ron, a long-time member. Last year I hardly gave away any Clean Sweep patches. There were some Scout groups that said they were going to come in and pick them up, but never did. Meanwhile, a loose group called Shelton Clean Up Project formed on Facebook and has had several big cleanups.
I’d like to get the Committee going again with some new initiatives and also some clean-ups that are organized by the Committee. At this time, I’m asking for input from each of you regarding what you’d like to see the Committee doing in 2022. Also, how do you feel about meetings? Obviously we are in a huge Omicron surge at the moment, but this will pass. Soon, I hope. Would you prefer to have meetings at City Hall (City Hall just went back to closing at 5:30, so that might be possible to have meetings at 7 pm), or online meetings via Zoom? Does 7 pm still work best for everyone?
Also, importantly, if anyone in this group no longer wants to be a member of the Litter Committee, please let us know. Otherwise it can look like we have more members than we actually do. Before replacing a members, I’m required to have a resignation in writing from a previous member that is being replaced.
Hopefully we can get this ball rolling again! Maybe in February?

Great idea! Our meetings have been on the fourth Weds of each month, skipping summer months and the Christmas holidays.

We have a budget. For signage, bear in mind that we’ve been told those laminated plastic signs we used to post around the City are illegal.

By the way, we only had three sign-ups for Clean Sweep last year. Of course it was during pandemic, but sign-ups had been decreasing every year.

You’re thinking of “do not litter” type signs? Those can be tricky because they can actually encourage littering depending on how they are done. It’s like saying “don’t touch that red button” and then people want to touch the red button. Everyone already knows littering is wrong and illegal, some people just don’t care.

Nothing says we have to meet on Wednesdays. It’s harder to find an available room at City Hall on a Tuesday or Thursday. Mondays can be easier.
