A solid waste voucher program was recently set up in Douglas County in Oregon during the March flood emergency in a partnership between the Douglas County Solid Waste Department and the Douglas County Emergency Management Department. This voucher program helped residents remove solid waste damaged in the flood quickly. The swift removal of flood-damaged waste greatly assists in recovery efforts for county residents to help get their homes and lives back in order while also preventing safety concerns.

Every week, each household in America rolls a trash can or two out to the curb to await their designated collection day. Rarely do citizens of this country consider what happens to those mounds of black bags once they are tossed onto a garbage truck and hauled away by city sanitation workers. Yet landfills across the country are filling up year after year, requiring new ones to be opened to welcome tons of refuse back into the earth from which much of it came.

As most of what is thrown away in households is compostable, the city began the FoodWaste Collection Program to alleviate the problem.

With our increasing use of gadgets, as well as constant encouragement to upgrade our phones, laptops and tablets, our electronic waste is piling up in our homes and businesses. According to the World Health Organization, in 2022, an estimated 62 million tons of e-waste was produced globally, and that number has increased each year since 2014 when e-waste data started being collected. Only 22.3% of e-waste was documented as being formally collected and recycled.

Many cities across the U.S. offer e-waste collection programs, and both cities The Municipal talked to said they wished they could do more.

In 1990, the city of Renton, Wash., began its future in recycling collection by holding a collection event for metal, tires and oil. Today, the city holds recycling events three times a year for King County residents, with each event focused on specific materials. As a suburb of Seattle, Renton has plenty of various recycling options available for residents in the area. The city’s goal for recycling includes education on nearby recycling sources that can be used anytime throughout the year and recycling events for other items that residents would be more likely to dump.

Renton began recycling collection events in 1990, starting with metal, tires, and oil. Items collected have changed over the years.

When it comes to improving the streets of a 400-year-old community, planning is paramount. That’s why the city of Portsmouth, N.H., began preparing for its Islington Street Corridor project more than two decades ago.

The city of Portsmouth worked hard to ensure that residents could navigate around construction zones whenever possible.

For anyone who hasn’t heard the term “pickleheads,” it isn’t the same as Jimmy Buffett’s “parrotheads.” But people can certainly claim to be both – at different times and places, of course.

Pickleball, for a while now, has been a “thing” and has grown steadily, ever since a family vacation in 1965 on Bainbridge Island.

Located 100 miles north of St. Louis along the shores of the Mississippi, Hannibal, Mo., has a storied history. The former stomping grounds of American humorist Mark Twain, Hannibal is the town that inspired two of the most beloved characters in literature: Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.

Missoula, Mont., has been composting for some time now, but generous funding from the American Rescue Plan Act, in the amount of $4.7 million started a new phase. The city council approved an $8.6 million contract to update the city’s compost facility — Garden City Compost. When three project bids came in over the estimated $6.7 million, Western Municipal Construction worked with the city to decrease the bid as needed. State revolving funds were set to cover the remaining costs. Garden City has been working in a transitional facility since 2017 when it acquired EKO Compost; the improvement project will bring everything up to comply with state standards.

In a proud moment for the city of Miami Beach, Fla., the public works department has received two coveted Project of the Year awards from the Florida Chapter of the American Public Works Association, highlighting its innovative approach to infrastructure challenges and community-focused urban design.

While the water main project addressed the unseen, the city’s landscaping initiative along Indian Creek Drive transformed the visible.
