Milton's Planning Commission to Tackle Recycling and Waste Strategy in Wednesday MeetingSource: City of Milton

Milton is gearing up for a deep dive into the future of its waste management. Anyone with an interest in sustainability should mark their calendars for the Milton's Planning Commission meeting this Wednesday, where the main attractions are recycling, solid waste, and eco-friendly efforts, as announced by the city. According to a recent statement from the City of Milton, the session is open to the public and kicks off at 6 p.m. sharp at the City Hall's Council Chambers.

The commission, made up of seven mayor-and-council-appointed individuals, doesn't just ponder over variance requests and zoning laws; it plows into the very essence of city planning monthly. If you can't attend in person, you're in luck. Their sessions stream online, letting viewers tune in from the comfort of wherever, at a provided YouTube link.

Before getting their hands dirty in waste discourse, the commission members are set to receive training—likely a nod to the ever-evolving landscape of sustainability practices. The only other item on their agenda, as outlined by the city, is the broad topic of solid waste management strategies under the purview of Milton's 2040 Comprehensive Plan.

Focusing next, a newly minted Milton Sustainability Advisory Committee (MSAC) is prepping to bring their A-game, holding its inaugural meeting a few days after the commission gets through. According to a statement released, this committee will collaborate closely with the city's team on a devised Recycling and Solid Waste Management Plan (RSWMP), an ambitious 10-year vision document designed for steering the city's future in waste management and sustainability.

For those seeking the nitty-gritty on the RSWMP or interested in the trajectory of Milton's environmental roadmap, more details can be unearthed at the city's official public works page. Rounding up, the commission has already penned their next rendezvous for May 22, promising continuity in the dialogue for Milton's greener tomorrow.
