BUT THE SCHOOL CONVOYS PROGRAM AND PRIMARILY BECAUSE WE'RE IN OUR OUR ELBOW DEEP INTO THAT PROCESS ALREADY, SO, UM, WITHOUT GETTING INTO A TON OF DETAIL, THAT WAS BASICALLY THE, UM THE BIG PITCH OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. UM WHAT CAME OUT OF THE, UM BIT OF AN ACTION WAS TRYING TO START WORKING ON A RESIDENTIAL. UH, SURVEY AND THIS IS FOR FOLKS THAT HAVE ALREADY SIGNED UP FOR THE PROGRAM. UM THE INTENT OF TRYING TO JUST UNDERSTAND OUR PEOPLE USING THE PROGRAM. IF SO GREAT. ARE THERE ANY SUGGESTIONS THEY HAVE FOR IT, OR IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WOULD MAKE IT MORE CONVENIENT FOR THEM?

AND I HADN'T REALLY DAWNED ON ME THAT I THINK WE'RE AT 334 OR SOMETHING. RESIDENCES UM, WHICH IS JUST AROUND A LITTLE BETTER THAN 10% OF THE ENTIRE THIS ENTIRE COUNTRY. ENTIRE CITY. UM, WHICH WAS PRETTY PHENOMENAL. I GUESS I HADN'T REALLY THOUGHT OF THAT WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT THE RECAPS THAT WERE HAPPENING. SO UM, I KNOW FOR MYSELF, I HAVEN'T LOOKED AND SEEN WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE VERSUS OTHER CITIES. UM ADRIAN AND I TALKED ABOUT DIGGING IN A LITTLE BIT INTO UM, UPPER ARLINGTON'S PROGRAM BECAUSE THEY'RE USING A PICKUP.
UH, UM. VENDOR THAT'S DOING THEIR THEIR REFUSE RECYCLING AND ALSO THE COMPOSTING. UM, THE SAME COMPANY, SO I WAS TRYING TO DIG A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THEIR BACKGROUND AS TO WHEN DID THEY FLIP? AND WHEN DID THEY START DOING THAT? HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE THEY? ARE HAVING IT DONE ANY
[00:05:01]
KIND OF BUMPS THAT THEY'RE COMING UP INTO SO HOPE TO HAVE SOME MORE INFORMATION ON THAT, UM, AFTER WE MEET THIS NEXT MONTH AND THEN COME BACK IN MARCH WITH A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION. I QUESTION IS OR ANY OF US. YOU CAN ASK THE QUESTIONS, OK? RIGHT? FANTASTIC.THANK YOU. SO UM, UNDER BUSINESS TONIGHT, WE'RE GONNA START WITH THE A PRESENTATION. UM, FROM MATINEE WITH EARTH, PEACE, ORGANICS. SO LET ME GET YOUR SLIDE DECK UP. IT'S HARD TO SEE THIS FAR AWAY. GOOD. THANKS. THANK YOU. BUT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU IS A, UH AND COLLECTIONS.
EVERYBODY KNEW HIM AROUND. OR WHERE ELSE WOULD YOU RATHER BE TALKING ABOUT COMPOST SO ROMANTIC? SO WE START OUT WITH INTRODUCTIONS. I'M GONNA GO THROUGH OUR, UH, BRIEF PRESENTATION TO GIVE SOMETHING OVERVIEW TO Y. THANK YOU. WE ARE . INTO UH, THE PROPOSED SOLUTIONS AND, UH, PROPOSAL THAT WE PULL TOGETHER FOR THE CITY. UM FOR INTRODUCTION. MY NAME IS MATT D. UH, I'M A RESIDENT OF OVER HERE. FROM SOUTH CAROLINA, ORIGINALLY. BE A PART OF. SECOND INSTRUCTION. THIS IS GEORGE WHICH IS THE VISIONARY FOUNDER. CEO OF EARTH PEOPLE ORGANICS.
I'M A CO OWNER AND A BOARD MEMBER, ALSO VICE PRESIDENT OF RAVI TIED INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT. SO TO GIVE CONTEXT OF WHO WE ARE RIGHT? AND ROLAND DENIES IS GONNA HAVE COLLABORATE DISCUSSION. IT'S NOT LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF TOPICS THAT THEY'RE ALREADY ON YOUR RADAR.
WE'D LIKE TO HELP YOU. YOU UNDERSTAND WHO WE ARE AND HOW WE CAN ADDRESS SOME OF THAT SO JUST A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF WHO WORKED BEGAN IS EARTH PEAK IS A GOOD WAY OF SOLUTIONS COMPANY. WE'RE ALSO A YOU UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FERTILIZER MANUFACTURER. ORGAN.
I THINK WE ARE THE EXCLUSIVE NORTH AMERICAN DISTRIBUTOR FOR TECHNOLOGY OR ROAD DIGESTION SYSTEMS. DEVELOPED IN SWEDEN. MANUFACTURER IN SWEDEN. SUSTAINABILITY IS 20 TO 25 YEARS AHEAD OF THE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES COMPARED TO THE US, UM, DEPENDING ON THE COMMUNITY, I SAY IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF A LOT OF TIMES COMMUNITY ARE BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT OUR EUROPEAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS HAVE DONE A LOT MORE THAN WE HAVE AHEAD OF US. SO THE TECHNOLOGY THAT WE'RE THE DISTRIBUTOR FOR WAS DEVELOPED IN THE NINETIES. IT'S FULLY UTILIZED AND IMPLEMENTED SUCCESSFULLY IN EUROPE. WE'VE BROUGHT THAT TO THE UNITED STATES. WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 2 TO 3 YEARS NOW, WITH A LOT OF SUCCESS. SO DIAGRAM A LITTLE BIT MORE. WE ARE AS A COMPANY THAT EARTH THE 3 TO 4 BUSINESS DIVISIONS. WE HAVE BEBE COLLECTIONS. UM WITH OUR COLLECTION BUSINESS UNDER THAT UMBRELLA WILL PROVIDE RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL FOOD WASTE PICK UP UH, WE ARE, UH, BUILDING OUT. THAT WAS UNDER A TON FOR THAT TO DEEPING FACILITY HERE IN CENTRAL OHIO. UH, WITH THE DEFACING FACILITY WILL BE SERVICING LARGE. UH, COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS LIKE NESTLE OTHER FOOD MANUFACTURERS, GROCERY STORE CHAINS THAT HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS IN THE PACKAGE. INSTEAD OF TAKING IT TO THE LANDFILL. WE COLLECT IT, RUN IT THROUGH OUR SYSTEM. GENERATE FERTILIZER. UNDER OUR SOLUTIONS UMBRELLA. I MENTIONED THE TECHNOLOGY, AEROBIC DIGESTION SYSTEMS THAT THAT WE, UH, DISTRIBUTE HERE IN NORTH AMERICA , UH, WE PROVIDE ON SITE SOLUTIONS THAT WE'RE IN HOSPITALS. UH, WHO ARE IN UNIVERSITIES, SCHOOLS? UM REALLY ANYBODY THAT PRODUCES A LARGE AMOUNT OF TWO PLACE THAT DOESN'T YOU KNOW THEY NEED THE ECONOMICS OF IT AND SAY, OK, I CAN PAY
[00:10:05]
$1000 A MONTH FOR COLLECTIONS, OR I COULD BUY THE X DOLLAR SYSTEM. SPEAKING OF THE FIVE YEAR RETURN IS GONNA BE HIGHER THAN SAVING IS FOR ON SITE SYSTEM, SO WE ACTUALLY PLACED THE SYSTEM AS A SCALED DOWN THE SIZE TO WHAT WE HAVE IN OUR HARD PROCESSING FACILITIES. UM AND IT'S REALLY SUCCESSFUL. SOME LOCAL LOCATIONS THAT WE OPERATE IN, UM NO PROBLEM SAY THE INSTITUTION. SO THE SYSTEM THERE ? UH THERE'S SOME SCHOOLS. A LOT OF THEM ARE UNDER CONTRACT. AND I THINK I SAY GAME OF, BUT, UH, BUT THEIR NAMES OF, UH COMPANIES, RESTAURANTS, JEWELS THAT Y'ALL GO LONGER. UM ON THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SIDE AS I MENTIONED, WE ARE NOT ON COASTER. UM, COMPOSTING HAS BEEN . KIND OF THE KEY PHRASE FOR SUSTAINABILITY AROUND RIGHT FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS HERE IN THE US WE ARE PIONEER HERE KIND OF A NEW AGE OF WHAT YOU DO WITH WORKING PLACE. UM, IT'S THE SAME PREMISE OF COLLECTIONS. BUT HERE IN THE UNITED STATES, OUR AGRICULTURAL LANDS ARE DEPLETED OF NUTRIENTS, RIGHT? UM YOU KNOW , WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT SYNTHETIC FERTILIZERS, HAD A MASSIVE MASSIVE SCALE FOR ALL OF THEM. WE CONSUME THAT'S GROWN ON LANDS THAT USE SYNTHETIC FERTILIZERS THAT WHITE BRAIN GRA COMPLETE THE SOIL OF THE NUTRIENTS. SO THE REASON THE US DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE WAS ACT. WE RECEIVED A REALLY SIZABLE BRAND LAST YEAR TO EXPAND THEIR OWN OPERATIONS BECAUSE THE US DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE IS TRYING TO ACHIEVE TWO GOALS. ONE THEY'RE TRYING TO DOMESTICATE FERTILIZER PRODUCTION RIGHT NOW, LIKE 80% OF FERTILIZERS THAT ARE IMPORTED . THEY'RE TRYING TO GAIN CONTROL OVER THAT AND FERTILIZE THE US.AND THEN SECONDLY, FOR MORE GENERATIVE AGRICULTURE STANDPOINT, THE PRODUCTS THAT WE MAY NOT ONLY PROVIDING VALUE FOR THE SOILS BUT INCREASES THE SOIL HEALTH, WHICH IN TURN FROM A GREENHOUSE GAS SUSTAINABILITY STANDPOINT, GREATLY REDUCES THE IMPACTS THAT OUR AGRICULTURAL UM THIS HAS HAPPENED. SO A GOOD SIDE TO OUR CONSUMER PRODUCTS. UM. ON THOSE PEOPLE. THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. I MENTIONED OUR TECHNOLOGY THAT WE USE. EARTH ORGANS AND PARTNER WITH WORLD CENTRIC WORLD CENTRIC IS ONE OF THE TOP TWO COMPOST SCHOOL DINNERWARE. UH, MANUFACTURERS HERE IN THE US. UM, I BELIEVE PEOPLE PRODUCTS. UM LAST YEAR, WE DID STUDIES PARTNERSHIP WITH WORLD CENTRIC TO TEST THEIR COMPOST MATERIALS IN OUR SYSTEMS, SO THE END GOAL IS THAT WE WANT TO COLLECT FRONT OF HOUSE NOT JUST BACK OF HOUSE BACK TO GET SOME FOOD FOR US.
WELL, WHEN YOU HAVE SINGLE USE PLANTS THAT YOU HAVE A HIGH LEVEL OF CONTAMINATION. SO WHAT WE DID WAS WE TESTED AND PROVED THAT THOSE PRODUCTS RUN THROUGH OUR SYSTEM SO YOU CAN HAVE A BOWL OF SPAGHETTI RIGHT? THAT'S SITTING IN A BOWL ON FIRST OF ALL EVERYWHERE AND PUT IT IN THE TRASH CAN IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE. WE COLLECTED, RUN IT THROUGH THE SYSTEM, AND IT MAKES THE SAME QUALITY. FERTILIZERS TO THEN GO AND REGENERATE AGRICULTURE. REALLY IT JUST IT CAPTURES A MUCH LARGER PERCENTAGE OF THE AMOUNT OF ORGANIC WASTE REDUCE A SINGLE USE PLATFORMS TO GO INTO THE UM. AND THEN LASTLY, WE'VE THE FEDERAL ARE THE ORGANICS IS A FEDERAL CONTRACTOR. UM WE HAVE OUR P COATS AND WE PROVIDE WAY SOLUTIONS TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THAT AROUND. I WAS LIKE I'M JUST SEEING THE SEE THE FO IT. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SK LINES. SEE WHAT YOU THINK OF THE ISSUES YOU THINK OF THESE NOW. NON PLASTIC MATERIAL INTEGRATES IN QUALITY. THE REASON I BROUGHT PRODUCTS AND I CREATED IS I WANT YOU TO EXPLAIN THAT. BETTER THAN SOME PEOPLE USE PLASTIC PROBLEMS. I DON'T YOU CAN ALSO DO BRANDING AND LOGO ALL THESE PRODUCTS. SO JUST SO I UNDERSTAND THAT. YOU'RE SAYING THAT THIS IS MADE OF MATERIALS. AND IT CAN BE RE COMPOSTED WITH FOOD AGAIN. OUR SYSTEM, AND IT BREAKS DOWN 24 HOURS. AND I'LL SHOW YOU. THE PHOTO THAT TURN THIS BAG RIGHT HERE. THE RAW PRODUCT. AND THIS IS OUR PELLET TYPE PRODUCT THAT WE SELL COMMERCIALLY. SO A LOT OF THE REAL FREQUENT, SUCCESSFUL AS BUSINESS IS THAT WE HAVE FOUND
[00:15:01]
PARTNERSHIPS WITH THOSE WHO HAVE PARTICIPATING IN SPACE THAT LIKE THEY KNOW IT BETTER. ONE MEMBER OF OUR UH UH, BOARD IS GANDHI OWN TOWN. HE IS A FOUNDER. CEO OF ADVANCE. PHIL AGRICULTURE.THIS COMPANY HAS SEVERAL MILLION ACRES OF AGRICULTURAL MANAGEMENT. OUR FERTILIZERS. I WANTED TO GO TO FERTILIZERS. MORE. REGENERATIVE, NON SYNTHETIC. FERTILIZERS. I STARTED JUST REALLY QUICK. I'M CURIOUS ON THE, UM SOME OF THE PRODUCTS THAT PRODUCTS CONTAINERS HAVE. LIKE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A PLASTICIZED LINER OF SOME SORT. LET'S IS THAT A. BECAUSE I KNOW YEARS AGO WHEN STARBUCKS WENT WENT TO DOING THAT TO THE PAPER CUPS, AND I WAS LIKE, OH, YOU CAN'T RECYCLE THIS ANYMORE. IT'S AT THE CORN. OR NOT CORN, NECESSARILY, BUT YES, IT'S. SO ANOTHER ONE OF OUR PARTNERS LEAVING FROM THE SOUTHEAST.
ORIGINALLY UM I REALLY CONNECTIONS WITH FLEX UNIVERSITY AND SOME OTHER SOUTHERN UNIVERSITIES. UH, I'M A FORESTER BY TRADE. UH, CLEMSON. C THE UNIVERSITY IS PARTNERED WITH A LOT OF REALLY BIG INDUSTRY NAMES. KELLOGG'S DISNEY, UM SMOKER AS MANY OTHERS. THAT HAVE CREATED A PROGRAM CALLED SUNOCO BASH. IT'S PART OF THE P SCIENCE PROGRAM. OR THE ORGANICS THIS YEAR JOINED THE BOARD OF THAT. AND WE'RE PLACING A SYSTEM AT THE UNIVERSITY. IN FACT, SCIENCE DEPARTMENT THEY'RE DEVELOPING IN IN UNISON WITH, UH LARGE CORPORATIONS, PACKAGING MATERIAL CORPORATIONS, NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND POLYMERS SIMILAR TO THAT MORE SO ON THE PACKAGING SIDE, UM TO WHERE THEY MADE SURE THAT IT CAN RUN THROUGH OUR SYSTEMS RIGHT SO THAT WE CAN HAVE THE BIGGEST IMPACT AS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE WHOLE VALUE CHAIN, NOT JUST RESTAURANTS BACK TO HOUSE BUT ALSO PROCESSING PACKAGING. MATERIALS. TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE SCOPE OF WHO WE SERVE. UH AND HELP YOU UNDERSTAND? UH THE IMPACT THAT EARTH PEOPLE ORGANICS HAS HAD SO FAR. WHEN THESE ARE THE BIG CUSTOMER OF OURS, UM, WE DO WENDY'S CORPORATE. WE DO WENDY'S STORES, THE CLOSEST STORE WE DO TO WHERE WE'RE STANDING TODAY IS THE HAMILTON QUARTER STORE. UH WE HANDLE ALL OF OUR FOOD WAYS BACK IN THE HOUSE WITH OUR COLLECTIONS BUSINESS. UM EARTHING ORGANICS WORKING WITH THE CITY OF EX LA FOR SEVERAL YEARS AGO, UH, AND HELPED VACCINATE ESTABLISH REALLY ONE OF THE FIRST UM, WHO. ELECTION THREE YEARS PROGRAMS IN THE CITY OF COLUMBUS. UM. WE SERVE OVER 50 ALL DAYS, AND C AND SOUTHERN OHIO. WE HAVE A LOT OF RESTAURANTS, SOME NOT NAMED ON HERE, A MANY THEM BEING ON HERE. UH, WE DO A LOT OF GROCERY STORES. JOHNNY NAGLE. YOUNG PEOPLE HERE IN TOWN. THEY DO. WAS COLLECTIONS. WE PLUGGED IN.
UM WE SERVE A LOT OF HOSPITALS BACK TO THE HOUSE KITCHEN. OH OK GOING OUT OF HEALTH IF YOU, UH, WERE WILLING TO GO THERE, BUT YOU DIDN'T. IF YOU PULL IN, AND I BELIEVE IT'S ON JAMES NINE OR 10 OF THIS BOOK, BUT HERE UH, THEY GOT A SIGN TO WHERE WE COLLECT FOOD WAYS PROCESS FERTILIZER, AND INSTEAD OF SENDING IT TO OUR AGRICULTURAL CUSTOMERS, THEY BUY IT BACK AND USE IT FOR THEIR BEAUTIFUL NATION. AND THEY'VE GOT A SIGN IN THE FRONT THAT'S ESSENTIALLY SAYS THAT KIND OF FULL CIRCLE. UM, PROCESS. I LOVE THE MARKETING ASPECT TO IT. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT RIVERSIDE AGAINST THAT RIVERSIDE. UM 12 JUST FOR YOU TO GO. YEAH. UM YEAH. SO THE NESTLE CUSTOMERS LIKE NESTLING, THEY FEED INTO OUR DEEP PACKAGE. HOW CAN WE HELP YOU ALL? UM I'M LISTENING TO YOU TALK ABOUT CURBSIDE COLLECTION RESIDENTIAL. THAT IS MY OPINION. UH WE HAVE, UH, TRASH CROPS YOU MENTIONED UP FOR ARLINGTON USING A NEW SERVICE. UM WE DON'T DO THE MS WS SIDE. WE HAVE TRASH TRUCKS, SO WE FOCUS ON SO YOU HAVE SEVERAL 100 RESIDENTS ALREADY INTERESTED. UM, WE WOULD LIKE TO GET INVOLVED WITH THE MARKET INCREASE THAT UTILIZATION. UH WEVE BEEN REALLY SUCCESSFUL AT THAT. SO FAR. WE KNOW HOW TO HELP PEOPLE GET ENGAGED. WANT YOU TO DO THAT. WHAT WE DO IS WE WOULD INSTEAD OF DOING BUCKETS, WHICH IS WHAT TRADITIONALLY, A LOT OF COMMUNITIES HAVE DONE IS LABOR INTENSIVE. YOU GOT TO DO IT. WE PROVIDE A 36 GALLON NOW, YOU KNOW FRESH THINGS TO RESIDENTS THAT WANT TO PARTICIPATE. OR EVEN IF THE CITY
[00:20:03]
SAYS, HEY, WE WANNA GET BEHIND THIS AND MAKE THE SUCCESSFUL THE CITY PLACES A TRASH CAN A FOOD WAS IN COLLECTION AND THAT EVERYONE LIKE JUST TO GET THINGS STARTED. AND THEN WE RUN A COLLECT ROUND WITH OUR TRASH TRUCK, YOU KNOW, ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK, DEPENDING ON HOW IT WOULD WORK OUT. SET UP THE SYSTEM. AND THEN YOU HAVE IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE BLUE CONTAINER THAT THIS ROLLED TO THE CURB. YOU HAVE A GREAT CONTAINER THAT COLLECTS FOODS. UM ALSO, WE CAN HELP INTEGRATE THE DINNERWARE PORTION OF IT. PEOPLE WHO REALLY WANT TO DO IT BECAUSE IT COULD INCREASE THAT AMOUNT OF WAS THAT THAT THEY'RE, UM SO THAT'S THE RESIDENTIAL PIECE. UM, WE WOULD LOVE TO BE PART OF THE CONVERSATION, BUT I THINK UM. SCHOOLS NEW ORLEAN HAS A PUBLIC SCHOOLS. WE WOULD LIKE TO GET IT IN. I KNOW YOU ARE DOING SOME STUFF AT OUR SCHOOLS. WE BELIEVE WE CAN HELP EXPAND THAT, UM THE ISLAND OF PUERTO RICO. WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING AT PLACE AND OUR SYSTEMS AND WE AND OVER 800 SCHOOLS, RIGHT? WE KNOW SCHOOLS. UM WE CAN PLACE SYSTEMS IN NEW ALBANY. IT'S HELPED WITH REALLY FULL STORY BUSINESS STUDENTS INVOLVED. UH, THAT'S ONE OPTION.WE ALSO CAN PROVIDE THE COLLECTIONS BEING IF YOU LIKE TO BE EDUCATION. WHAT'S BEEN REALLY INTERESTING IS AS WE'VE EVOLVED AS A COMPANY. WHEN DEALING WITH SCHOOLS AND OUR CORPORATE LEVEL.
THE DECISION MAKER AND STAKEHOLDERS FOR THESE SERVICES DEPARTMENT STUDENTS. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOCAL SCHOOL THAT WE WORK WITH. UH, I WON'T HAVE A HAND. YOU KNOW WE PRESENTED TO THEM LAST YEAR FROM LAST YEAR. AND YOU KNOW THEY WERE BACK AND FORTH ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY THE MONEY OF THE STUDENTS BEING GATHERED AND SAID, HEY, WE'LL FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE THIS WORK FOR YOU. AND THERE WE GO, YOU KNOW, SO REALLY COOL TO SEE HOW THE STUDENTS THE NEXT GENERATION. THAT THANKS FOR A TOTALLY DIFFERENT WAY OF BEING RIGHT. ARE GETTING BEHIND US. UM YOU DIDN'T DROP OFF. THAT'S NOT FOREIGN TO US, OR WE MANAGE TO DROP OFF. WE HAVE SERVICES THAT WE PLACE PROVIDED WITH THE COLLECTIONS FOR OTHER COMMERCIAL SIDE. THIS IS WHERE WE'VE MET REALLY BIG IMPACT. SO FROM A ATTRACTING NEW BUSINESS STANDPOINT. AND EG IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO A LOT OF THEM IN BUSINESS. ARE PEOPLE YOU LIKE TO BE AND GO TO SOLUTION. FIRST LINE OF APPROACH OR HELPING THOSE COMPANIES DO WASTE UP FIGURE OUT SOLUTIONS FOR AN ORGANIC WAY. ALSO FROM A COMMERCIAL PERSPECTIVE. I SHARED YOU A LOT OF RESTAURANTS THAT WE SERVICE. UM WE WOULD LIKE TO HE ESTABLISHED A MORE NEW ALBANY RESTAURANTS BASED I'M LOOKING AT YOU. SO IT YOU KNOW, JUST TO DO A FOOD WASTE COLLECTION, ALL THAT AND NOW YOU MAY AS WELL AS F THAT IT'S REALLY AN WASTE COLLECTION IS BASED OFF OF THE WAY RIGHT. SO ON THE MS W COMES ON, MIX UP THAT, YOU KNOW. CONTAINER. THEY'RE CHARGING YOU BASED ON WEIGHT MORE FREQUENCY BECAUSE IT FILLS UP WHEN YOU SEPARATE OUT YOUR WEIGHT, AND WE PROVIDE THAT ELECTION. YES, IT WOULD BE, BUT IT ALSO THE COST. OF YOUR TRADITIONAL, YOU KNOW, TRASH CON OF THE COLLECTION IMAGES THAT WOULD THAT USED TO BE I THINK COMMUNITY OF THEM. SO I PASSED AROUND THE DINNER WHERE WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IS WORK ON ESTABLISHING FOR THE OCTOBER FEST FOR MANY OTHER EVENTS THAT TAKE PLACE. WE WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE IN ORDER TO ALL THE FOOD TRUCKS TO ALL THE VENDORS, RIGHT? THEY'VE GOT THEIR SKEWS AND PRODUCTS THAT THEY NEED. THERE'S STERLING ALL THE FOOD THAT THEY THEY SERVE TO THE COMMUNITY. IN THE DINNER OR. AND THEN WE HAVE COLLECTIONS FOR FOOD WAYS AND THE DINNERWARE AT ALL THE EVENTS. ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY THAT WE'D LIKE TO LOOK INTO FOR YOU. ALBANY IS, UH, AWARE IN THE CIRCLES I MENTIONED SCHOOL OF PUERTO RICO.
WE'VE GOT SEVERAL OTHERS WE'RE WORKING WITH. TO REPLACE AND WE USE PLASTICS WITH THE DINNER. WE WE'RE NOT MANUFACTURER. WE'RE JUST THE DISTRIBUTOR LIKE WORLD CENTER IS A REALLY WELL KNOWN ESTABLISHED DINNER. WE PRODUCER UM THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF SCHOOLS ALREADY. IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT WE LIVE HERE. WE'RE LOCAL. WE CAN HELP. YOU HAVE A REALLY EASY YOU KNOW? INSIGHT AND RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM TO GET ESTABLISHED. TALK ABOUT HER FEW SOLUTIONS A LITTLE BIT.
THAT'S JUST HOW SLICING YOUR SUGAR ANYWHERE THAT THERE'S A GOOD BIT FOR IT. YOU KNOW, YOU TALK ABOUT INTEL ON WEEKEND, RIGHT? IT DIDN'T KNOW MUCH TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MANAGE THE 220 WHEN THE FEET OF THE SEVERAL 1000 FOR DAYS. UM LIKE THEY DON'T WANT THEIR COLLECTION SERVICE. THEY'RE GONNA WANNA HAVE AN ON SITE SOLUTION. WE'RE A REALLY EASY SOLUTION FOR THAT.
SO, UM. TRYING TO MAKE AN IMPACT HERE. WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT? UKRAINE REGENERATIVE COMMODITY
[00:25:02]
THAT REDUCES GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. USING TECHNOLOGY TO TRANSFORM FOOD WAYS. THAT'S THE OTHER WAY. WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT TO YOU? WHY SHOULD IT BE IMPORTANT BECAUSE NEW ON IS RATED FOR THE TOP CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES RIGHT FROM FOR THE BUSINESS INSIDER. PLAY IT TO THE TOP 25 TEAM SCALE HIGHER THAN THAT. PEOPLE. IT IS A TOP TIER WASTE SOLUTIONS COMPANY. WE BELIEVE THAT A PARTNERSHIP HELPING MAL DIVE DEEPER INTO CAPTURING EVEN MORE WAS IN THE FUTURE TODAY. WILL HELP TO COINCIDE WITH WHO WE ARE AS A COMMUNITY. OUR NATIONAL STATE.UM AND ALSO BECAUSE YOUR CHILDREN CARE, IT'LL IMPACT THEM. THIS COMMUNITY IS GONNA BE THERE AFTER US RIGHT? SO IF WE CAN SET IN MOTION CHANGES THAT NEED TO TAKE PLACE. UM IT BENEFITS THEM IN THE LONG RUN. IT BECOMES SECOND NATURE, RIGHT? AND WE'RE HERE TO HELP YOU DO THAT. HERE'S A PICTURE OF AN ON SITE SOLUTION IS THAT NO FORM OF FINANCE PROCESS IS CLOSE TO £400 PER DAY. UM IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD. THEY ARE CONTINUOUSLY FEEDING THE SYSTEM. IT PRODUCES FERTILIZER. REFER. TO THIS IS THE PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS WE'LL SEE TO MAKE THIS PRESENTATION. OUR CUSTOMERS. THIS IS THE REASON OUR REQUESTS USE US IN A LOT OF SENSES. YOU ALL KNOW VERY WELL AS BUSINESS OWNERS, STAKEHOLDERS AND COMMUNITY. TELL YOU THEIR STORY AND USING DATA TO DO IT. IS ONE OF THE ONLY WAYS TO TELL YOUR STORY. THE LAST THING YOU KNOW EARTH ORGANICS IS PARTNER WITH A COMPANY CALLED 40. THEY'RE A THIRD PARTY CAR AUTHORITY THAT PROVIDES AUDITED, VERIFIABLE, VERIFIABLE METRICS. FOR EVERY TON OF WAYS THAT WE COLLECT OR PROCESS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS. UM. WE WERE ABLE TO SHOW THE TONIC REDUCTION, GREENHOUSE GAS AND CARBON EMISSIONS. WE PROVIDE THAT REPORT QUARTERLY, SO IT WOULD BE A COLLECTION OF ALL THE SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE FOR RESIDENTIAL CURBSIDE. THE SCHOOLS, THE STORES, UH, THE RESTAURANTS. AND THEN YOU CAN REPORT IT AND TELL THAT STORY. HEY HERE'S OUR HERE'S NOT ONLY GO FOR DOING AND HERE'S WHY. THIS IS OUR, UH, CONSUMER PRODUCTS LINE. THE READ. NOURISHED BRAND IS OUR FERTILIZER. UM, AGAIN, WE'RE DEALING MORE IN THE GOLD SPACE.
UH, HOWEVER, IF YOU GUYS WANTED TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO DO WHAT AND THEN, UH, WE DO THAT AS. SO THAT IS MY LONG MINUTE PRESENTATION TO YOU. THAT'S GREAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MATTHEW. NO QUESTION. UM I MEAN, I GOT. I'LL START ON. SO THE I GUESS THE ONE OF THE REAL DIFFERENTIATORS IS LIKE WHEN YOU SAY PLACE A SYSTEM. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, WE'RE JUST DOING LIKE , FOR EXAMPLE, AT THE SCHOOL. WE'RE DOING COLLECTION AND THEY COME BECAUSE ZERO COMES, PICKS IT UP. AND I SAW THAT THE DEVICE THAT YOU SHOWED THERE. SO WHEN YOU SAY PLACE THE SYSTEM IT WOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT'S WOULD BE AT THE SCHOOL. AND THAT IS ACTUALLY PRODUCING FERTILIZER ON SITE. YEAH. SO IT'S YOUR CHOICE, RIGHT? WE DO THE PROCESSING THAT'S DIFFERENT ON THOSE CYLINDERS. AND WE PROVIDE THE COLLECTIONS. JUST LIKE. IF THE SCHOOLS WANTED TO BUY THESE OF THOSE PERVASIVE RIGHT, THEY DO A COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS. AND THEY SAID, HEY, IT'S ACTUALLY THE CHEAPER LONG TERM FOR US TO PROCESS IT OURSELVES. THEN? YES, WE REPLACE THESE SYSTEMS. WE'VE GOT SYSTEMS . UH OUR OUR ONE DOES £220 A DAY . UH, THIS SYSTEM DOES CLOSE TO 400 ALL HAVE YOU. SO. YOU WORK BACK WHAT YOU LOOK AT LEAST ALL THAT SO MUCH WASTE AND YES. OK AND IF THE SCHOOL HAS A SYSTEM LIKE THAT, WHAT BECOMES OF THAT PRODUCT? LIKE YOU WHEN IT'S FULL AND WHAT HAPPENS SO WE PROVIDE COLLECTIONS FOR THE FERTILIZER. IT. THAT COST IS INCLUDED IN THE CALL SERVICES. UM BECAUSE WE'RE LOCAL. WE DO THE BLOOD TEST. I MENTIONED OUR REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE PARTNERS. UM YOU KNOW, SAY WE'RE WORKING ON A DEAL RIGHT NOW WITH A LARGE GROUP IN DENVER. LIKE PLACE IN A LOT OF SYSTEMS AND A LOT OF DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. UM WE HAVE PARTNERS WITH OUR REGENERATED AGRICULTURE. FRIENDS UM, THE FELLOW THAT SITS ON OUR BOARD HIS BUSINESS. THINK WHEN THEY DO THE COLLECTIONS FOR PURPOSES FOR IT ON THE AGRI. BUT HERE WE HAVE. SO WHEN THIS IS DONE PROCESSING SORRY, IS THE PRODUCT THAT BASICALLY LOOSE? GOT IT? THE ONE THING I THINK I NEED TO MENTION THAT I THINK THAT WENT OVER. BUT IT'S A GOOD POINT IS,
[00:30:05]
YOU KNOW THAT MACHINE REDUCES THE FOOD, SCRAP AND BODY BY 80. SO IT'S CRAZY. MORE COMES IN OVER 24 HOURS ON 320,000. BASICALLY JUST FOR ALZHEIMER FIBERS HERE. JUST GO AND THEN. I SHOW THAT YOU CAN I MEAN LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO HERE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO. YOU DON'T HAVE MORE OUT OF STUFF REALLY? BECAUSE IT'S A WHOLE JUST OF TIME IN IT, SO THEY WALK OUT. I MEAN, IT DOESN'T SIT FOR A WEEK AND RIGHT, RIGHT. HEY, CAROL. SO I DON'T WANNA IN NOW, AND THEY REPRESENTING SO THAT'S WHY I MEAN THAT'S ONE REASON ABOUT CARL. THANK YOU. ANYWAY GO HERE AND THEN YOU CAN. WELL, I'LL BE OUT THERE BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE ON THE MARKET AND THEN WE GET ONE OF OUR CARS RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO EVERY DAY THAT YOU JUST AS A FEE, A LITERALLY FEED LIKE YOU WOULD EAT RIGHT AND WAS AT THE HOSPITAL SOME OF OUR SCHOOL AFTER PRACTICE DAY. GO OUT AFTER LUNCH. THEY GO AFTER THEIR DINNER, AND THEN IT'S THAT THING FILLS UP. THEY JUST START WITHIN A COVER, AND WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK. THEY LET US KNOW. AND THEN WE ACTUALLY FIGURE OUT THE HORIZON. AND THEN THEY WANTED SIMILAR. I KIND OF THEY WANNA GIVE YOU INFORMATION ALL AROUND CITY AND SAME THING. YEAH, TO LOS GOT IT. AND SO IS THAT ARE THESE UNITS GAS. TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT YOU THINK OF SIDE BY SIDE WASHER? SORRY, SIR. I'M VERY SURE. AS FAR AS I WAS IMPRESSED WITH WHAT YOU'VE DONE WITH, BAXLEY SAID. YOU SAID YOU HAD ROUGHLY 2000.HOUSEHOLDS UH, WITH WITH THE PICKUP, SO IN IT'S ROUGHLY $9 PER HOUSEHOLD FOR THAT PICKUP.
I'M JUST CURIOUS. IN THE CITY. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, I GUESS THE CITY CAN DO IT. HOWEVER THEY WANT BUT DOES BEXLEY. ASK EACH RESIDENT TO PAY THAT FULL COST, OR DO YOU THINK THEY'RE PICKING UP PART OF THE COST? SO MAYBE YOU'RE A CASTOR I. I DON'T THINK THAT ALL THE TIME YOU'VE BEEN BACKED UP. IT'S A GREAT STORY BECAUSE I KNOW I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS THE MAYOR. SO I GUESS SOME OF THESE STORIES ON THE RIGHT NOW AND I WAS ACTUALLY, UH, AT A, UH THOSE, UH, BARBERS. AND TALK TO SOMEBODY ABOUT AND ONE THING I DO KNOW. AND HE HANDS ME. HIS CARD HAVE COFFEE ON AIR ACCIDENT YEARS AGO. AND WE TELL YOU ABOUT HOW DO WE ROLL IT OUT? WHAT IS GOING TO HELP? WOULD IT MAKE SENSE? SO WE KIND OF EVOLVED IN OUR WE STARTED IN 2017, WHICH IS B, AND THEN WE HAVE 100 PEOPLE CLOSE TO THE SITE. AND THAT IS A GROUP AND I THOUGHT, WOW, I'M LOSING MY MIND WAS, I GUESS? BRING BACK. JUST TO THE INCEPTION STORY OF OUR BECAUSE IT WAS A SPIT. YEAH, I'LL GIVE IT A SHOT AND HE GOES WELL, HOW DO WE ACTUALLY HAVE PEOPLE MOTIVATED AND I SAID, LOOK, I THINK WHAT HAPPENS IS WE CAN WAIT FREE TIME. SO DESTROYING AS I'M WALKING UP THE BOTTOM MARSHALL'S HOUSE YOU KNOW, JIM AND JENNY ARE OUTSIDE AND THEY LITERALLY IT HAPPENED.
SO IT IS LIKE YOU'RE SO WHY ARE THEY BEING ONE? THEY PARTICIPATE? WELL, HOW DOES THAT WORK EXACTLY? SO FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE REALLY DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF NETWORKS IN THE WAY I THE THIRD YEAR WHEN IT SEARCHES DOUBLE AND THE TRIPLE. THEY GOT A YEAH, IT JUST WHAT WE'RE DOING RUGBY ABOUT 70% OF THE CITY AT THIS POINT. SO EASY BECAUSE THAT'S SO LIKE PLACE LIKE THAT.
WE HAVE WATER STAFF MEMBERS, TWO TRUCKS THAT WE DO BETWEEN 732 O'CLOCK AND DONE. 2000 AND THAT SCIENCE. UM BUT ONCE WE LOOKED AT THE WEIGHTS HE WERE AFTER THE RUN. SO HE BE GRUMPY THAT UM, AND BASICALLY, I SAID WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT ARE YOU CHARGE US LESS BECAUSE IT'S THAT WHOLE THING TRYING TO FEEL YEAH. WAS THAT YOU GUYS ARE IN SOCIAL MARKET. I WORK RIGHT, SO THAT IS A SOURCE WITH SOME OTHER COMMUNITY OUT THERE WITH ALL THOSE DETAILS ABOUT PRESIDENT UM, BUT HE BE AMONG OTHER PRODUCTS AND COULD LEGITIMATELY SHOW BECAUSE I'M LIKE, LOOK, THIS IS WHAT WE HEARD. SO THEN HE SQUEEZED THEM A BIT. AND HE BASICALLY SAID LOOK, THE CITY WILL COME RIGHT. THE CAR ON YOU GIVE US A BLACK RIGHT? BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT TOO LIKE, OH, MY GOD. LIKE FEELING LIKE I THINK I'M GONNA LOSE MY MIND. SORRY, HE SAID NO, NO, WE'LL SEND YOU A LIST. WE'LL TELL YOU DO A MESSAGE. WE'LL BUILD UP AND THEN YOU GOTTA HELP US WITH HOW IT ROLLS OUT HOW GOOD COMMUNITY SUPPORT GIVING AWAY CHILD YARD SCHOOL. WE HAVE TO GO BACK YOURSELF. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A GREAT PROGRAM. REALLY BECAUSE AT THE TIME WE RESIDENTIAL A COUPLE OTHER COUNTIES WERE GONNA DROP OFF AND THEY ALL PLAN UP. I MEAN, I MEAN , AT LEAST ON MY IDEA. I GUESS I'LL SAY IT THAT WAY. SO YOU GET A COUPLE OF 100 RESIDENTS AND THEY'RE REALLY IN THEIR WAY. BUT WHEN IT'S LIKE 12 DEGREES, AND IT'S SNOWING THERE ANYTHING OR WHAT IT NOW EITHER NOT WORKING, BUT YOU JUST ASK THEM WHAT IT THE HERB WILL MOVE FROM THE CURB TO THE SIDEWALK. AND WE KNOW THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF OVERFLOWS THAT ON MY STAFF WILL
[00:35:05]
TAKE A REGISTER TO WORK WHEN YOU DO ALL THIS, LIKE EXTRA STUFF. NOT ALL A SUDDEN, LIKE LIKE EVERYBODY DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. IS OUR STAFF. IS IT LIKE THE MOUNTAIN MANAGER GETS THEM OUT, RIGHT? BUT THAT IS THE SAME FOLKS TELL EVERY SINGLE WEEK, SO THEY LEARN THAT N ONE OF THE CUSTOMERS OTHER COMMUNITY. YEAH. SO EVENTUALLY FACE, UH, WITH THE OUTSET THERE.AND THERE WAS. MOST. OK? SO IT'S ON YOU. IT'S ON YOUR SHOULDERS. THAT'S YOUR THAT'S RIGHT. I TOOK LIKE THIS ENTIRE THING THAT'S ON YOUR SHOULDERS AS A STUDENT. SO LONG AGO, PILOT JUST BECAUSE I DON'T I DON'T WANNA DO ALL THE HOSPITAL NOW HERE AS AM I, BUT LIKE, IF WE WANT TO PUT A DI FOR THE SCHOOL, YOU KNOW JUST A FEW MONTHS, SO WE WERE GOING IN AND YOU TALK FACILITIES. THEY THEY FIND THE SPOT. THEY HAVE POWER. AND THE REASON I'M SAYING THIS IS THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME ALMOST EVERY DAY AND I'M GOING TO ONLY GREENS, SAME THING, THREE DINING HALLS AND ALL THIS IS THE ONE AND THERE'S THE SPOT. THERE'S THE POWER LIKE IT'S REALLY NOT THAT HARD TO DO. BUT LIKE WHAT? HOW DID THAT GO? JUST BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW. I GUESS I WE HAVE A PROGRAM THAT KNEW ALL THE INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL WHICH JUST STARTED THIS YEAR. LAURA GOT IT STARTED. WE, UM ABOUT 1100 STUDENTS THERE, AND THAT'S WHAT THEY, UH THEY PICK UP ONCE A WEEK. WE HAVE, UM, YOU KNOW, OUTSIDE, UM HAD A BARRIER FOR THE BINS AND THEY BRING BINS IN EACH DAY. WE FILL THEM AND BRING THEM BACK OUT. UM SO, YEAH, IT'S INTERESTING, I. I NEVER I'VE HEARD OF, YOU KNOW, HAVING A DIGESTER ON SITE, BUT I NEVER REALLY CONSIDER THAT, UM AS AN OPTION. IT'D BE INTERESTING IN TERMS OF PRICING AND IN TERMS OF PROS AND CONS. I THINK FOR THE CUSTODIANS YOU KNOW, OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE FOR THEM. SO AS OF NOW, IF YOU LIKE. THERE THE AMOUNT OF WORK THEY'RE DOING IS ABOUT THE SAME AS WHAT THEY HAD WHEN I WAS JUST TRASH. YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE TO TAKE OUT THE TWO COMPOST BINS AT THE END OF THE DAY. TAKE UP TRASH BINS YOU KNOW ABOUT A THIRD OF THE TIME THAT THEY USED TO HAVE TO BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT LESS TRASH. UM SO THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO CONSIDER AS AN OPTION. I GUESS I AM CURIOUS ABOUT YOU, UH, EXPERIENCE WITH CONTAMINATION BECAUSE RIGHT NOW. WE'RE HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF THAT. WE'VE STARTED OFF REALLY WELL, AND I JUST RECENTLY WE'VE BEEN HAVING SOME PROBLEMS WITH KIDS, YOU KNOW, I THINK THEY'RE JUST GETTING A LITTLE BIT. UM LAZY ABOUT IT. UM BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS WHAT YOU GUYS DO AS FAR AS THAT SIDE OF IT GOES AND WHAT'S YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THAT? YES, CONTAMINATION IS ALWAYS AN ISSUE, RIGHT? YOUR AUTHOR. IF WE CAN INTEGRATE WITH A COMPOST OR WHATEVER. BACK WHEN IT WAS IMMEDIATELY A LOT OF ISSUES. INFORMATION. WE'RE USING THAT ALREADY. YEAH OUR OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IS PROBABLY POTATO CHIP BAGS GETTING INTO IT. THE GOOD NEWS IS FROM A COLLECTION OF STANDPOINT, OUR SYSTEMS. WE HANDLE CONTAMINATION REALLY? WELL ANY AMOUNT OF CONTAMINATION IS NOT CLOSE. IT'S NOT LIKE A SO SHE, UM, THAT HASN'T HAPPENED YET YET. WE PROMISE I GOTTA LISTEN. SO. EVEN IN LIKE IN THAT MACHINE THERE, OK? YEAH, I MEAN, I MEAN, WE DON'T WANT IT, BUT IT'S NOT GONNA DAMAGE IT. SO WHEN YOU CAN SEE IN THAT, IS THERE A CHAIN LOAD THAT FEEDS TO THE LAST CHAMBER WHERE THERE'S LIKE A WALL WITH A GATE WITH HOLES, AND THEN THAT DON'T SAY A WORD A OUT SO THAT'S IT JUST TO PREVENT PROBLEMS. SO WE GOT YOU KNOW THINGS SO I CAN GO PRO. LET'S SEE SOMETHING DECIDES TO THROW IN. YOU KNOW, CAN I WHAT IT'S GONNA GO THROUGH. I FULLY DIGEST . SO BE MAN UP AND OUT OF IT WON'T HURT MACHINE DAMAGE IT. IT JUST BECOMES LIKE AT SOME POINT I GOT LITERALLY OK? SO WE'RE WE'RE LOCAL TO YOU COMPANY, BUT WE'RE A NATIONAL COMPANY. UM WE HAVE THE SERVICE FOOTPRINT FOR THE SYSTEMS THAT VERY SUCCESSFUL. WE HAVE A MONITORING SO YOU CAN SEE THE FEEL OF THE PLC SCREEN THERE THAT'S TIED TO MY OWN. AND WE'RE ABLE TO MONITOR THESE SYSTEMS. CENTRALLY OUR CORPORATE OFFICE. ON TOP OF THAT WE'VE GOT A 1 800 NUMBER RIGHT? BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE GONNA BE ABLE TO CALL THIS ONE.
SO YOU GIVE THAT NUMBER. IT'S YOU CAN EVEN PUT ON THE SYSTEM. THEY CALL IT IF THEY HAVE AN ISSUE. AND THEN WORK DIRECTLY WITH US TO MAKE SURE THAT SO I WOULD MAYBE JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT BECAUSE YOU ASK ABOUT THE SCHOOLS. UM THIS IS A CITY APPOINTED BOARD AND THE CITY OF NEW OMNI IS A SMALLER GEOGRAPHY THAN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND THEY BOTH HAVE SEPARATE ELECTED
[00:40:04]
BODIES. SO WHILE WE WORK IN CLOSE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE BOARD, YOU KNOW WE HAVE TO PETE AND LAURA ARE TEACHERS AT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. UH IT'S SEPARATE DECISION MAKING PROCESS SO THE SCHOOL BOARD WOULD BE THE KIND OF BODY THE ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT WOULD MAKE THOSE DECISIONS RELATED TO THE SCHOOL CAMP. MAKE THE DECISION ON THE COVER.THAT'S WHAT ON WHICH, UH, WHICH COMPANY TO PURCHASE. I MEAN OR OR TO USE THAT MADE THE TRANSITION AND HOW THEY CHOSE TO DO THEY LOSE. ISSUES. TO THAT WOULD BE THE HEAD, UM, OF FOOD SERVICES, WHO, UH, MADE THE DECISION ON WHAT COMPANY TO GO WITH, AND THAT KIND OF THING. UM IT LOOKS LIKE THIS ONE OR I'M NOT POSITIVE THAT OUR SOUP BOWLS THAT WE HAVE THAT LOOK LIKE THAT . BUT I WOULD IMAGINE A LOT OF ORGANIC COMPANIES WOULD KIND OF LOOK SIMILAR. UM. BUT IT DOES. I MEAN EVERYTHING BECAUSE WE HAVE TRAYS. WE HAVE SILVERWARE, NAPKINS. ALL THAT UM, AND SOUP CONTAINERS, AND I THINK, UH, WE HAVE THE. WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS? IT'S NOT PLASTIC. WHAT'S IT CALLED THE THIS RIGHT HERE. BECAUSE WE HAVE THAT FOR SALADS. AND SO WE'RE USING ALL THAT. AND I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE COMPANY, THOUGH, BECAUSE THAT WAS FOOD SERVICE THAT DID THAT.
IS THAT LIKE AN ERROR MARK ON IT, OR IS IT JUST IN HOUSE? IN HOUSE. WE WOULD LOVE TO GET INTRODUCE THEM TO WORK WITH THEM. UM A CERTAIN WHO PICK UP SERVICES FOR YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A WEAR IN IT BECAUSE WE'VE DONE THE STUDIES. PROVE THAT IT WORKS THROUGH OUR SYSTEM. SO IT COMPLIMENTARY PRODUCTS IS MHM TAKE THEIR OUT, RIGHT? I DO THINK LAURA AND I WOULD WOULD LIKE TO MEET WITH YOU GUYS WE COULD SEPARATELY ABOUT THE YOU KNOW THE SCHOOLS SINCE IT IS YOU KNOW SEPARATE UH, DECISION MAKING PROCESS. BUT WE ARE, YOU KNOW, GETTING READY TO WORK ON THAT FOR NEXT YEAR. UH SO AND WE DEFINITELY LIKE SOME PRICING ON PICKUP. IF NOTHING ELSE AT THIS POINT, JUST TO SEE LET'S HAVE A SEPARATE MEETINGS AND TALK ABOUT THAT, UM, THE REASON I DIDN'T PUT PRICEY, SO THIS IS AN ACTUAL PROPOSAL FOR YOU. FOR ALL THE SERVICES I TALKED ABOUT TONIGHT ON, UH, ON THE PRICE PAGE. I FIRST I NOTICED THAT THAT'S THE ONE I WAS LOOKING FOR. SO I DIDN'T WANT TO PUT A NUMBER ON IT. MISMATCH FOR ME. THE ACTUAL SCALE. YEAH, BECAUSE THE WHOLE CONVERSATION THAT WE'RE WORKING ON WITH ANOTHER SCHOOL THAT IT'S REALLY PROBABLY GONNA END UP WITH MORE AND THERE WAS A LITTLE CORRECTING AROUND. BECAUSE THEY'RE LIKE THIS. WE GOTTA RESPECT GUARDS WE GOT WE GOT. I MEAN, IT'S LIKE AND IT'S REALLY WHAT KIND OF VERY IT'S LIKE, FOUR MORE THAN I EVER THOUGHT. I MEAN, I WAS IN THERE TO TALK ABOUT THIS ACCIDENT. THAT WOULD BE LATER AFTER SOCCER, SO IT WAS STILL IS A PART OF STUDIES. AND THEN THE PRINCIPAL GOT INVOLVED IN WHITE. THIS IS WHERE WE CAN GO. SO THAT GOES THE WAY CO PART OF OUR DEAL, BUT THAT WAS IF THEY DEVELOP A RECORD THAT WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THAT CREDIT TO AND THEY EVEN THE RIGHT? THAT'S GOOD. I'M NOT. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SO GREAT, BUT I THINK IT'S PRETTY INTERESTING THAT YEAH, WE JUST R. WHAT HAPPENS? MM. YEAH, I WOULD SAY SO. SCHOOL IS SEPARATE FROM 3 TO 3 COLLECTIONS, RIGHT? WE REALLY WANT TO HELP GET INVOLVED WITH EXPANDING CURBSIDE COLLECTION PROGRAM. UM, AS I MENTIONED, WE'VE GOT THE TRASH TRUCKS. WE PROVIDE THE CARS.
THERE'S SO FEW COMMUNITIES IN THE US THAT HAVE THAT RIGHT NOW, THAT WOULD SURELY BE BINARY FOR YOU. UM UPROAR AND IT JUST STARTED. I THINK THAT'S THE FIRST OF THE STATE THAT DOES IT LIKE THAT. RIGHT. SO, UM WHERE WE DIFFER FROM A COMPANY LIKE THAT IS WHAT WE DO WITH THE WAYS WE PROVIDE THE SAME SERVICES, SAME COSTS. INSTEAD OF TAKING IT TO A CLASS ON YOU TO LAND.
THAT'S WHERE WE REALLY OPERATE. WHAT WE SUCCEED AND INCREASE THE FERTILIZER THAT US FARM AGRICULTURE WANTS US TO MAKE AS MUCH AS IT CAN. AND HELP REGENERATE THE AGRICULTURAL FIELDS, RIGHT? UM, NOT TO MENTION. WE PROVIDE REPORTING THAT A LOT OF OUR COMPETITORS.
UM, THERE'S SO MUCH INVOLVED THERE. IT TAKES SO LONG TO GET THOSE PROGRAMS UP AND GOING RIGHT TO GET A REGISTER OF CARBON REGISTER. THAT'S TRUE. SO . OUR GOAL WOULD BE WE ALL SAY YES. WE WANT TO WORK WITH YOU. FIGURE OUT HOW IT PAID FOR. AND THEN WE IDENTIFY ALL THE RESIDENTS. WE WANT TO PLACE IN OUR FOCUS, BUT FOR 38,000, YOU KNOW JUST AROUND. YOU MAKE THE
[00:45:02]
DECISION. HOW BIG IS 38? GALLONS I CAN'T VISUALIZE IS THAT LIKE A SMALL TRASH CAN YOU KNOW, SO IIB WAS THE WAY I STARTED BECAUSE IT WAS EASY TO BECOME, BECAUSE THERE'S AT LEAST GOT YOU 2000 RESIDENTS. I WAS AT LEAST 300 THAT HAVE ABOUT A HALF DO IT AGAINST AND HALF AGAINST MAJOR THAT HE SO WE ENDED UP HAVING THREE OR FOUR MOMENTS. SO THAT'S OH, MY GOD, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY'S GETTING WORN OUT AND THE FOOD HOME, RIGHT? SO YOU ALL THESE BUCKETS OUT SO 32 GALLON OR 38? SO WE OFFER 32 AND 4864. BECAUSE ONCE YOU GET PAST 6464 IS OUR BIGGEST INDICATOR WHAT WE WANT YOU TO B HAVE US DINNER OR FOOD, BECAUSE IF YOU JUST PUT A STRAIGHT FRAME ON IT THAT WE NEED LIKE HAS MY RIGHT, SO 32 SEEMS TO BE LIKE ALMOST ANYBODY CAN MOVE IT TO THE INNER DOOR OR CAR. WE HAVE A SHORT AGAIN AND SO WE COULD LITERALLY PULL UP GO . IT'S SLENDER UP WHERE YOU HIT THE GRASS OR PEOPLE ARE GONNA SAY WOW. TRASH CAN YOU KNOW WE HAVE RIGHT LABELING. IT WOULD BE GREEN. WE I THE NEW OPEN LOGOS OR WHATEVER THAT HAS TO BE, BUT AND, UH, BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN ASKED BY A NUMBER OF THINGS. WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP? WHAT WHAT? WHAT DOES THAT DO? CAN WE LITERALLY HAVE MUNICIPAL SOLIDS DOWN THE LIKE EVERY TWO WEEKS OR SLIGHTLY IN GOOD SCRAPS. I WANT TO BECAUSE TRUTH BE TOLD HIM IT DONE RIGHT BY THERE A LITTLE. A LITTLE. PEOPLE START DOING IT, AND THE RESULT IS THERE'S LESS RISK. UM I WILL SAY, TOO, WITH THE VERY TO THE VERY ONE INTEGRATED. FROM A CHANGE STANDPOINT, PEOPLE ALREADY WALKING INTO THEIR GARAGE AND PUT THEIR TRASH THEY WENT TO LIVE. RIGHT? WHEN YOU HAVE A FIVE YEAR OLD BLOOD BILL. THAT'S A BIG MENTAL SHIFT FOR PEOPLE WHO ON THOSE SO IT'S HARD TO GET PEOPLE ENGAGED, SURPRISINGLY USING THAT BUCKET THAN IT IS OF HAVING A GREAT LABEL TRASH CAN IN THEIR GARAGE BECAUSE THEY'RE ALREADY USED TO DOING THAT, RIGHT? IT'S OK. I HAVE THIS WASTE STREAM THIS P IS FOR THAT.IT LOOKS LIKE THE OTHER GAMES TO DIFFERENT COLOR. THIS IS WHERE I PUT MY FOOD PLACE. IT SOUNDS VERY LIKE A SMALL NUANCE, BUT IT HAS SUCH A BIG IMPACT. IN THE PERIOD THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY THROW INTO. CURIOUS ABOUT YOUR EDUCATION PROCESS. AS FAR AS WORKING WITH RESIDENTS, YOU KNOW, GETTING PEOPLE UP TO SPEED. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY CITY OF NEW ALBANY COULD DO PARTS OF THAT. BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS. WHAT YOU WHAT YOU DID WITH BEXLEY, FOR INSTANCE, TO KIND OF GET PEOPLE ON BOARD MARKETING, RIGHT? YOU GET OUT AND I SAID THE LARGEST IMPACT WAS PROVIDING FERTILIZER BACK. FOR RESIDENTS WHO PARTICIPATE EVERY SPRING. WE GIVE THEM A FREE BUCKET OF UM PEOPLE LOVE THAT. SO YOU SEE YOUR NEIGHBOR TOO. AND YOU SAY, HOW DO I GET IT? ALL I HAVE TO DO IS USE THE SERVICE THAT IS ALREADY PAID FOR SURE. WHY NOT? UM WE FLY WE GET INVOLVED. UH, YOU CAN SEE. THE COMMUNITY EVENTS, I'D SAY COMMUNITY MARKETING IS A REALLY BIG ASPECT OF IT. YOU KNOW SAME WE START DOING SERVICES FOR. AND HOW THEY WILL SIGN IT DOWNTOWN. WHAT WE'RE DOING RESTAURANTS, WHICH IS GREAT, BUT IN RECOGNITION IF PEOPLE ASKING QUESTIONS, UM YOU CAN SEE IN 1.5 BE 11. YEAH, WE DIDN'T. WE JUST LIKE THIS. THAT WAS THAT THAT PHOTOGRAPH WAS, UH, BIRTHDAY TO HIM THAT LAST YEAR. SO WE PARTICIPATE THERE THEY HAVE A LINK. I MEAN, THERE'S NO ONE JOKE. I LIKE. THAT STILL THERE, SO IF YOU LITERALLY CALL THE CITY FAST SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND YOU GIVE YOUR VOICEMAIL AND SAYS OPRAH, WHO'S FROM HERE, AND SO IT'S MY TOLD YOU AND WE'LL BE SITTING SOMEWHERE IN MY PHONE WILL BE LIKE, HEY, GEORGE AND SHARE. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE GOING OUT OF TOWN WITH OUR I MEAN, IT'S LIKE, OH, MY GOD. I MEAN, LIKE WE HOPE WE GIVE GREAT SERVICE. SO I THINK WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN IS LIKE LIKE IT'S A GREAT THING WITH VASELINE AND I AND THEY'LL CALL ME. I'LL CALL THEM. I'LL SAY I WAS A MISS. THEY SWUNG THE HOUSE. THEY WERE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE BORDER AND SURE, LIKE I WILL WORK FOR THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. WITH ALL THE RESIDENTS, BUT I THINK I THINK YOU JUST GOTTA GET SUPER ENGAGED , RIGHT? I MEAN, YOU REALLY DO SO THE POINT WHERE, LIKE WHEN I STOPPED DOING THE R OF REGULAR BASIS, WE GOT THE SAME GROUP PEOPLE WALK UP AND GO. GOSH GEORGE, THIS IS RIGHT NOW, LIKE NO, NOT SURE, YOU KNOW. YEAH, BUT I MEAN IT. IT'S LIKE THAT. SO THAT'S LIKE WHAT WE WOULD DO LIKE WORKSHOPS AND GO TO CITY HALL TO MAKE MAYOR'S HEAD DOWN. I'VE BEEN ON THERE IN MAR COMMITTEE. I'VE GOT AN ENT COMMITTEE BACK TO FUND DAYS OR WHATEVER THEY CALL LIKE A FACT WAS THAT THE WHOLE HEALTH. THAT I MEAN, THE WHOLE THING EVERY TIME THEY RUN, OPEN UP SOMETHING
[00:50:04]
THEY WERE WE HAVE. WE HAVE TO GET AWAY AND THAT WE DID SOMETHING AT, UH, GM, I I'M SURE THEY CALL THE RESTAURANTS WHERE I'M LIKE IT WAS JUST LIKE A LITTLE KICK OFF. HEY, HERE YOU GO. AND THEN EVERYBODY SEES US EVERY MONTH. THE TRUCKS GUYS SO I. I WOULD THINK IT'S JUST ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT IS PROBABLY THE BEST ONE A SNOWBALL THING, RIGHT? OUR COLLECTION STRUCTURES ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE TOO. THEIR THEIR PAIN IN A DIFFERENT COLOR. UH THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT SMALLER THAN THOSE DRUGS. AND SO WHEN RESIDENTS SEE THEIR NEIGHBORS HAVE A THIS TRUCK OR A GREEN TRACK SCAN ON HER THEY ASK QUESTIONS, RIGHT? UM, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. PUT INTO A SNOW. WANT TO TAKE ON THE SERVICE. PEOPLE MAKE A LOT OF PLACES. IT'S AMAZING. IT'S AMAZING. NEARLY £10,000 ON MONTH JUST FROM THAT $10,000 BECAUSE THEY WERE DOING THIS THING FOR SPECIAL. START WORRYING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, LASTING ALL THE TOWNS DOING AND MAYOR TEST THAT WILL HAVE TO VISIT A WEEK AND MORE A WEEK AND EVERYBODY US. AND HE'S RIGHT. HE WAS SO I MEAN, BUT I'M LIKE YOU WERE FIRST. YOU HAVE A HUGE, UH, PARTICIPATION. YOU KNOW, WE HEARD OF LIKE RESTAURANTS AND A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT RICE. AND IF THEY HAD A BIG, LONG WORKING OUT 2000 IN THEIR IN THEIR MULTIPLE MARKET, SO IT'S CRAZY HOW MUCH THEY LIKE. THANKS. WELL WEEK AFTER THANKSGIVING. THAT I'M TRYING TO THINK. AND IT'S LIKE, OH, YEAH, I MEAN, WE HAVE EXTRA GUYS WORKING WITH US. I GUESS WE HEARD A LOT OF AND SO THE WAY JUST FOR THAT IS WE, YOU KNOW, HE HAS SIGNED UP FOR THE SERVICE FOR ALL THE RESIDENTS, RIGHT IF YOU WANNA EVERYBODY. WE WE PROVIDE AUTOMATED MESSAGING TO THEM THREE ADDRESS JUST LIKE WE DID TODAY. FOR 10 YEARS OF COLLECTION. THIS FOR THE LONG UM IT REALLY OPERATES THE SAME WAY IN THE TYPICAL TRASH CAN UM, I WILL. I THINK I WANNA POINT OUT, TOO IS MARKETING THAT WAS REALLY GOOD JOB WITH MARKETING FOR ALL THEIR INITIATIVES. HELPING ME A LOT RIGHT. THIS COULD BE A PARTNERSHIP WITH HEALTH AND W.BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST PEOPLE HELP. COMMUNITY HELP. IT'S ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH. UM AND IT'S AGRICULTURAL FILM. SO IT ADDS NEW ARMS OF YOU KNOW, VESTED INTEREST THAT HELPING OF ALL THE MARKET. I READ MAGAZINES. I THINK MOST PEOPLE DO RIGHT. SO WHEN YOU READ IT.
YOU UNDERSTAND? HEY, IT'S AN EASY SERVICE OF PHONE CALL. HERE'S HOW TO SIGN UP AND I GET MY CAR AND START DOING IT. DIVIDING SNOWBALLS REAL QUICKLY. UM I THINK ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE'VE HAD, AND I MEAN THE I THINK WE'VE AGREED THAT THE IF WE'RE GONNA JUMP TO LIGHT SPEED, THE GROUPS I'D PICK UP IS THE WAY TO GO TO GET THE ENGAGEMENT THAT WE'RE KIND OF SHOOTING FOR.
I GUESS THE CONCERN IS NEW ALBANY IS NOT BEXLEY. OUR FOOTPRINT IS MUCH BIGGER. IT'S NOT THAT BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, YOU KNOW, UM SO I GUESS HOW HOW DO YOU ADDRESS? OF COURSE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW? THAT'S I HOPE THIS WOULDN'T BE THE CASE. BUT WE HAVE LOW TURNOUT, BUT WE'RE PUTTING A TRUCK OUT. AND WE'RE ADDING BASICALLY DRIVING A TRUCK ALL OVER NEW ALBANY FOR MINIMAL GAINS, AT LEAST. AND YOU KNOW, WE A COUPLE OF 100 RESIDENTS THAT WE HAVE NOW. YOU KNOW, THE OFFSETTING THE FUEL AND THE YOU KNOW, PUTTING THAT TRUCK OUT THERE VERSUS WHAT WE'RE GAINING WITH THE PICKUPS. SO WHAT'S REALLY COOL IS, UH, FOUR ZEROES ON A THIRD PARTY. SOMETHING THAT DOES. THE METRICS. THEY ACCOUNT FOR EVERY MILE THAT WE DRIVE TO SUPPORT THE FUEL USAGE. THEY PUT INTO A CALCULATION. THAT SHOWS THE OFFSETS FROM THE ACTUAL FOOD WASTE ITSELF. NOT GOING INTO A WIND, SUBSTITUTING AND THEN FERTILIZERS. AND ESSENTIALLY GET SUBTRACTED OUT FROM THAT SHOE POINTS. UM YOU KNOW, THE RECIPE IS NOBODY USES IT RIGHT. AND THEN YOU'RE YOU'RE IN TEXAS IN ARKANSAS SITUATION? UM, I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD BE THE CASE. BUT MAYBE THE SOLUTION IS BEING A LITTLE BIT. OR THAN HOW WE ROLL OUT THE BASIS. JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW. YOU'RE GONNA GET THAT UTILIZATION AND THAT VOLUME. YEAH, WE HAVE THAT THAT POINT WHEN WE HOLD THAT OUT. THE MAYOR SENT OUT AN EMAIL THAT LIKE CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WHAT IT'S CALLED. AND YOU THOUGHT THEY MIGHT GET, YOU KNOW. 50 OR $60. HERE. IT WAS LIKE 400 BACK IN 78. YEAH, A LITTLE BIT IN THE BACK, AND I SAID HEY, MAYOR, THERE'S NO WAY I'M GONNA BE GOING TO WEST BROAD. I MEAN, LIKE IT WAS CRAZY. LIKE I SAID, LET'S GET I THINK THAT SPINE MARTHA, I DON'T THINK IT IS ANYTHING ELSE AND THE MARK THAT YOU GET HERE AND GLORY. THEN LET'S LET'S POUND I'LL DO TWO STREETS, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE GOT LITTLE MOUNTAIN THAT WE DID FACE AND WE KIND OF
[00:55:05]
I THINK YOUR POINT WE STARTED OUT WHERE WE DIDN'T USE THE WORD BECAUSE I WAS KIND OF ANTI ABOUT THIS. HE WAS A SO, BUT I DON'T WANNA REALLY HE'S LIKE, WELL, WE JUST NEED TO MAN. YOU KNOW, LIKE PEOPLE ARE GONNA LOSE THEIR MIND. YOU KNOW, I SAY YOU NEED TO JUST EASE AND GO FOR THE LOVELY ELECTRIC AND ALL THESE PEOPLE RIGHT NOW, I'M YOU KNOW, I MAIN BETWEEN MAIN AND LIVINGSTON WANT TO DO IT? LET'S CHASE THEM DOWN. AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS IS EVERYBODY ENDS UP TALKING RIGHT IN THE OLD WAY THAT AND THEN WE START WITH THE GAME AND MOMENTUM AND THE REASON WE ARE NOW LIVING THERE ABOUT THIS ANYMORE. YOU JUST LIKE THE BUCKETS BECAUSE IT'S OR SOMETHING. BUT I THINK YOUR POINT WE GET IT GOING IN. WE MAYBE NOT GONNA DO WORSE BECAUSE WE GET THIS GOING. I MEAN, I THINK WE WOULD LOOK FOR ENGAGEMENT FROM YOU FOLKS LIKE WE WANT TO DO IT LIKE A KICK OFF THING LIKE, MAYBE WE SHOW UP. WE GIVE THEM A FREE STUFF TO START.YEAH. I MEAN, I LIKE, FIGURE OUT WELL, HOW DO YOU GET THEM GOING? I MEAN, AS SOON AS YOU MENTIONED KOREA IS CRAZY, RIGHT? I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT WE GOT. CAPITAL UNIVERSITY GOING. I MEAN, THE STUDENTS, UH, THE UNIVERSITY OF THAT ALSO, THEY SAID, LOOK, I'M GONNA TELL YOU A BUNCH OF CANNABIS FOR THE RACE THAT IS FOR THE YOU KNOW, AND THEN ALSO WELL, GEEZ, YOU KNOW, WHY DON'T WE START WITH, YOU KNOW JUST ONE PERSON. I CAN BE GREAT, BUT CARS. ALL THE DIFFERENT BUT IT'S LIKE YOUR BABY STEPS. I THINK WE DID FOR THAT IN YOU START GETTING OFF. I GUESS WE'RE NOT DRIVING AROUND ONE. YEAH, I SAY OUR INTENT. ONE OF THE, UH, RESULTS OF DOING THIS SURVEY WAS MAKE SURE THAT WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE ANSWERING AND ENGAGING IS LIKE IF WE CAN GEO KIND OF CORRAL THEM, YOU KNOW, BUT THERE'S 25 PEOPLE LIVE IN PARK OR IN THE LINKS OR WHATEVER TO THAT END WHERE THERE IS SOME SOME MASSING TO DO WITH, LIKE IT'S TRYING TO DESIGNATE THOSE AREAS AND FIGURE IF THAT'S THE PLACE TO START IT. YOU DID AS MANY RESIDENTS TO SIGN UP FOR THEIR CASE, NO BLOOD OUT AND NEW AL WE WHAT WE HANDLED AROUND. RIGHT SO WE GOT SOFTWARE. WELL I'M JUST SAYING, BUT THAT'S THE CASEY'S POINT. WE ARE OBVIOUSLY MUCH MORE SPREAD OUT THAN A V IS SO WHERE THERE WERE CHALLENGES WITH THAT. WE'RE JUST WE'RE NOT TRYING TO DO YOUR JOB FOR YOU.
AND BUT YOU KNOW, WE ALSO TRYING TO MAKE IT MAKE SENSE, SO THAT WHEN IT'S PITCHED TO CITY COUNCIL, AND THEY WANT TO PROVE IT, THAT THERE'S AAA PLAN, AND THE PLAN GENERALLY IS, YOU KNOW IF WE CAN GET AN AREA THAT EVEN ONE OF THESE AREAS IS STILL A LARGE AREA, SO IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TWO BLOCKS KIND OF THING. WELL YEAH, LIKE I SAY, I'M JUST SITTING AND PICK UP ON AN ACCOUNTABILITY STANDPOINT, WHERE YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU. I DON'T KNOW HOW JUST THAT. IS YOU? YOU THROW IT HARD. YOU FIGURE OUT WHO WANTS TO SIGN UP RIGHT? AND THEN WE START BUILDING BASED ON THOSE NUMBERS. THAT IS WE HAVE THIS WAY. YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE EITHER WE DON'T FEEL LIKE WE'RE OVERCHARGING OR UNDERCHARGING YOU SEE WHERE I'M GOING WITH THAT PANEL LIKE, HEY, YOU GOT 400. LET'S SEE IF WE GET THE WATER. WELL HERE'S THE BENCHMARK. HOW DO WE GET THERE? YOU KNOW, WE GET WITH THE END OF MY OH, OK, WELL, WE'RE REALLY GETTING NO PARTICIPATION OVER HERE AND, UH, MAIN STREET. WELL, THAT'S AMBER MAIN STREET. IT GETS UNDER AND THEN ONCE THE INFORMATION GOES OUT, I JUST AND I MEAN, I THINK THAT OUR BIGGEST HURDLES IS GONNA BE, I THINK, IF IT'S FREE TO THE RESIDENTS, AND WE CAN FIGURE THAT OUT, THEN I THINK WE'RE GONNA HAVE BUY IN. THIS ISN'T AN ISSUE. I GUESS I'M I ALWAYS, YOU KNOW. HOPE FOR THE BEST. I'M PAYING FOR THE WORST. IF WE'RE GONNA ROLL THIS OUT, AND LET'S SAY THERE IS NO SUPPORT, AND IT'S GONNA BE $9 A MONTH FOR EVERY RESIDENT. I THINK THERE'S GONNA BE HEADWINDS AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT ROLLS OUT AS QUICKLY AS WE WOULD ANTICIPATE. THAT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT , YOU KNOW, I THINK WE TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO SUBSIDIZE IT, AND WE CAN BE A BRONY AND DO THOSE THINGS AND OBVIOUSLY WE WILL IF WE BROUGHT OUT CURBSIDE, BUT YOU KNOW IT. I. I DON'T KNOW . I MEAN, RIGHT NOW, YOU GOT 200 . YOU KNOW THE PROGRAM NOW AND IT'S FREE. SO IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAVE THIS, YOU KNOW, 50. YOU KNOW, USE RATE OF THE DROP OFFS NOW, SO NOW YOU PLUG IN AN ACTUAL COST, AND, UM SO THAT'S I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO GAUGE AND YOU KNOW, I. I DON'T WANNA ROLL THIS OUT AND FAIL. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. NO COST STANDPOINT. YOU KNOW, THAT AIN'T NOT A NOT A RE IS BASED ON YOUR CURRENT YOU AS THAT SCALES UP THAT NUMBER UM. WHERE THERE'S A PER HOUSEHOLD COST INCREASE. OK? BECAUSE IT REALLY IS ALL ABOUT ROCK. YEAH, RIGHT, RIGHT. YEAH.
I MEAN, IF I'M DOING EVERY £10 IS IT'S ALMOST THE SAME. A LOT OF TIME FOR THE INDUSTRY OR WHAT IF I DID EVERY HOUSE WERE GOOD AT IT. ONE THING WE DO, TOO IS AND IT'S IN THIS PROPOSAL WE DO TRACKING. SO, UM, OUR CREWS WHEN THEY'RE SELECTING WAYS. ANY HOUSE. THEY BREAK DOWN ON THAT AND SAY, HEY, IT'S UNDER EMPTY MIDLINE POOL SO THAT YOU CAN GENERATE A REPORT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT RESIDENTS ARE ACTUALLY USING THIS AND I. I MEAN, IT MIGHT SOUND A LITTLE PETTY, BUT
[01:00:05]
I MEAN, WHAT ARE THE ODDS AS YOU KNOW, MATT TRASH DAY THURSDAYS IN ALBANY LIKE IS IT POSSIBLE TO ALIGN WITH THE REST OF THE PICKUP? OK I DIDN'T KNOW YOU. YEAH I. I KNOW YOU SAID MONDAYS IN BEXLEY. AND IF THERE'S A DAY, MISS YOU LET THE RESIDENTS KNOW. BUT IF IT WOULD ALIGN FROM YOU, I THINK THAT WOULD BE GO A LONG WAY. YOU LET US KNOW WHAT DAY YOU LIKE LUNCH. FOR THANK YOU, MA'AM. A LOT TO DIGEST. CON IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, EASY TO DO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU GUYS. YOU STICK AROUND AND HELP YEAH. WE WILL NOT BE TAKING ACTION.THAT WILL NOT BE THAT EXCITING FOR YOU. YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO STAY THERE. AND THEN I GUESS WE'LL MATT WILL FOLLOW UP. AND, UH, ONCE WE DETERMINE AND I GUESS. WHAT IF I JUST GIVE YOU MY EMAIL HERE? I'M GONNA SAY PETE, I CAN KIND OF BE THE CONDUIT, I GUESS THROUGH THE SCHOOLS. I SEE ME. I'M GONNA START ON THE DAY WE WOULD NEED PROBABLY A MONTH OR TWO HEADS UP JUST TO GET THE CANNON'S ORDER TO COME AND TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES. UM THE SYSTEMS WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE A MUCH LONGER TIME. UH, THOSE ARE THE 40 WEEK OUT AND BRING OK? WE COULD START, YOU KNOW. AND I'M NOT GONNA HOLD IT TO HOLD IT TO IT. BUT WHAT IS A FOR THAT SYSTEM THAT WE SAW? WHAT'S IT BALTIMORE COSTLY FOR, AT LEAST STANDPOINT, 1200. OK? SO YOU DO, LISA. YOU DON'T PURCHASE THEM. WE DO? YEAH, WE DO. OK? YOU WANT. YOU WANT THEM TO SERVICE IT? YOU HAVE. AND AT LEAST THE PLACES WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS NOT THE TECHNOLOGY LIKE OR THAT, UH, WELL. OR SOMETHING.
SO IT'S LIKE NOW IT WOULD BE OUR TERM. I GUESS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. SO IF WE PUT IT IN, AND AS WE'RE UPDATING IT, I MEAN, WE DO GET THE LATEST CREDIT. WE PULL OUT ALL THE WAY. OK? OH, OK, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO, UM YEAH. I THINK THIS WAS A TIMELY PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION AS WE START TO THINK THROUGH HOW AS A CITY WE WOULD GO ABOUT FIGURING OUT DO WE EXPAND OUR PROGRAM? HOW DO WE DO THAT? UM AND SO I DID YOU KNOW IF WE WANNA HAVE A FOLLOW UP DISCUSSION ON ANYTHING WE HEARD TONIGHT, UM, BUT I DID WANT TO SPEND SOME TIME. JUST TALKING ABOUT THE SURVEY. UM AND THEN ALSO ONE THING OUT OF THE WORKING GROUP WAS TO TRY TO KIND OF UP OUR MARKETING OF OUR EXISTING PROGRAM. THE DROP OFF SO OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM IS WORKING ON SOME ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE AROUND THE ENCLOSURES. UM, AND SOME ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATIONS AND FUTURE. UM LIKE MAGAZINE ARTICLES THAT WE DO SO I THINK WE CAN ACCOMMODATE THOSE THINGS PRETTY EASILY AND SEE. YOU KNOW IF WE DON'T GROW IT, UM, AT LEAST MAYBE WE START TO GET SOME AWARENESS OUT THERE IN THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE LAUNCHED UM, BUT IN TERMS OF THE SURVEY, AND YOU KNOW, CHARLES IS RIGHT, WHATEVER THIS BOARD WOULD DECIDE AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL. I THINK WE DO HAVE TO LIKE COVER ALL THE BASES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PRESENTING, UM, A PROPOSAL THAT UH, YOU KNOW, HAS SOME DATA AROUND IT THAT WE HAVE SOME SENSE OF, YOU KNOW THE COST AND WHAT WE THINK, UM THE CITY COULD DO OR COULD NOT DO SO . CURRENTLY THE CITY OBVIOUSLY, GUYS AS RESIDENTS KNOW WE DON'T PAY FOR TRASH PICKUP CITY DOES COVER RECYCLING COSTS. UM BUT THE WE DON'T HAVE A WE DON'T DIRECTLY BILL ANYBODY. UM AND SO WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A MECHANISM TO, LIKE, BUILD PER HOUSEHOLD. SO THAT JUST SO YOU KNOW, LIKE THAT'S EVEN ORGANIZATIONALLY. THAT WOULD BE YEAH. A BIG STRETCH FOR US TO BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. UM SO CHARLES AND I MET AND TALKED ABOUT MAYBE WHAT DO WE WANT TO GET OUT OF THE SURVEY AND SO THE GENERAL FRAMEWORK THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IS, UM KIND OF THE BASICS. WHO DOES IT GO TO? UM THE REGISTERED PARTICIPANTS. UM BUT ALSO CITYWIDE OR WHATEVER.
YOU KNOW WHAT AUDIENCE DO. YOU GUYS THINK THAT IT SHOULD GO TO? UM IF WE WANNA GET INFORMATION FROM PEOPLE THAT MAYBE AREN'T UH, YOU KNOW, COMPOSTING NOW OR USING OUR PROGRAM NOW? UM AND WE
[01:05:05]
COULD PUT IT IN OUR K CONNECTS OUR WEEKLY NEWSLETTER THAT GETS GOOD OPEN RATES. UM THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE THE EASIEST WAY FOR US TO SEND IT OUT. IF WE WANNA DO A BROADER AUDIENCE. IF THAT'S SOMETHING YOU GUYS THINK IS IMPORTANT. AS I SAY IT WASN'T ORIGINALLY THIS WAS A. IN MY HEAD. IT WAS A USER A REGISTERED USER. I DON'T KNOW. FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM CUSTOMER SERVICE SURVEY. UM I THINK AFTER YOU AND I SPOKE, UM IT SEEMS TO MAKE A LITTLE MORE SENSE, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF TALKING ABOUT THE, UM FOR CURBSIDE MOVING CLOSER AND FURTHER AWAY. UM CONCEPTUALLY, AT LEAST THAT HAVING THIS GO OUT AS A GENERAL SURVEY AND HAVING THE QUESTION WOULD BE. ARE YOU CURRENTLY A REGISTERED USER OR NOT? AND THEN IF YOU'RE NOT GOING DOWN THE LIST OF YOU KNOW, IS THERE A REASON WHY IT WOULD WHAT A CURBSIDE. UH, SERVICE WOULD BE OF INTEREST TO YOU.WELL, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO GET SOME BUSINESS SEPARATE DATA THAT SO WE'LL HAVE THE DATA COLLECTED AND PEOPLE ARE REGISTERED BECAUSE THEY'LL HAVE ANSWERED A QUESTION UNTIL LONG THAT LINE AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT AREN'T CURRENTLY REGISTERED. THAT COULD GIVE US SOME INFORMATION. MAYBE GIVE US SOME GUIDANCE THAT WAY. SO THAT'S SEEMS TO MAKE SENSE. IN MY PEA BRAIN. YEAH I SEE. I SEE SOME HEAD NODS IN THE OTHER MARKETING EXPERTS SAY YOU MIGHT YOU MIGHT WANNA ASK ABOUT JUST HOUSEHOLD NUMBER OF PEOPLE, BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT AREN'T PARTICIPATING, WANT TO BATTLE DIMENSIONALIZED AT LEAST A BALLPARK OF OK, HOW MUCH DO WE THINK WE COULD GET? IF RIGHT. SOME OF THE FOLKS SIGNED UP. THAT'S A GOOD POINT. OK SO WE CAN USE KS. UM I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD AVENUE TO GET IT OUT TO A LARGER AUDIENCE. UM, FROM A TIMING STANDPOINT, WE'RE GOING TO LOOK TO RELEASE IT IN EARLY MARCH, UM AND PROBABLY HAVE IT OPEN FOR A COUPLE TWO WEEKS. 10 DAYS, 14 DAYS. SOMETHING LIKE THAT. UH IF WE CONNECTS, GOES OUT ON THURSDAY, SO IF WE COULD RUN IT LIKE TWO THURSDAYS. I THINK THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE GOOD AND THEN GIVE PEOPLE MAYBE A WEEK AFTER THAT TILL TILL WE TAKE IT DOWN. UM WE'RE SHOOTING TO GET THOSE INITIAL RESULTS FOR THE MARCH SUBCOMITTEE MEETING, AND THEN WE COULD DISCUSS AT THE APRIL BOARD MEETING. UM SO IN TERMS OF THEN QUESTIONS OOPS. UH THE GENERAL FRAMEWORK THAT WE TALKED ABOUT ONE. YOU KNOW, I GUESS WE COULD CHANGE IT FROM ARE YOU CURLING COMPOSTING TO ARE YOU CURRENTLY REGISTERED? I GUESS WE COULD ASK THEIR COMPOSTING. AND THEN IF THEY'RE REGISTERED UM, AND THEN FROM THERE, IT KIND OF TAKES TWO DIFFERENT. PAST ONE. IF UH, IT'S YES. HOW OFTEN AND THEN. AT THE TIME WE WERE THINKING, ARE YOU INTERESTED? WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN CURBSIDE COMPOSTING? UM, BUT IF THERE'S OTHER DATA POINTS. WE WANT TO GATHER FROM THOSE REGISTERED COMPOSERS. WE CAN ASK ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. AND THEN IF IT'S NO WE THOUGHT THROUGH, LIKE, WHAT ARE YOUR BIGGEST HURDLES? IS IT STORAGE? IS IT? UM YEAH. I CAN'T EVEN READ FROM THAT FAR AWAY CONVENIENCE, SOMETHING. YEAH, IT'S LIKE IT'S NOT COMMUNITY, YOUR CONSCIENCE. THAT SHOULD BE. I SHOULD BE POSTING. IS IT PROXIMITY? BECAUSE IT'S THE DROP OFF. UM, AND SO MAYBE QUESTIONS AROUND THOSE FACTORS TO SEE IF WE CAN GET SOME INFORMATION FROM PEOPLE, UM, AND THEN ALSO ASKING THEM IF THEY'RE INTERESTED IN CURBS. AS WELL. SO I MEAN, THAT'S HIGH LEVEL GENERAL FRAMEWORK, BUT WE WANTED TO START THIS DISCUSSION WITH YOU AS A BOARD BECAUSE WE WON'T IF WE DO. GET IT OUT IN EARLY MARCH, WE WON'T MEET WITH YOU GUYS AGAIN. I. I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S A GOOD FRAMEWORK. I WOULD I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT AND WE COULD PUT IT UNDER YES AND OR NO? I GUESS IF IT'S UM NO, I DON'T KNOW, BUT, UH I THINK WE BROACH. WHAT WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO? WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO PAY 899 A MONTH JUST TO GET TO GAUGE THAT INTEREST. THAT'S A GOOD GOOD QUESTION, SO TODAY. THE CITY. PAYS FOR THE RECYCLING. OR YES. JUST CONCEPTUALLY. WHY WOULDN'T YOU THINK THE CITY WOULDN'T BE OPEN TO I'M NOT SAYING WE WOULDN'T JUST AS A QUESTION. I MEAN, IT WOULD BE. I HAVE TO JUST LIKE WE I MEAN, WE PAID 20,000 A YEAR FOR COMPOSTING NOW. YEAH AROUND THERE LITTLE LESS. YEAH SO I MEAN, IT'D BE THE SAME THING. IT'S JUST ASKING FOR A BIGGER NUMBER. YEAH. I WAS INTERESTED
[01:10:03]
IN THE PART OF THE PRESENTATION WHERE THEY SAID YOU HAVE THE DATA. YOU GO BACK AND DOES IT GIVE YOU LEVERAGE THE RENEGOTIATE THE CURBSIDE BECAUSE IT'S DIVERTING THE STREAM. IS THAT A WAY TO OFFSET AND THEN RIGHT FEES GO DOWN, AND YOU JUST KIND OF MOVE IT TO THE DIFFERENT WAY. I THINK THAT'S A FAIR CONVERSATION TO HAVE WITH. YOU KNOW WHEN WE LAUNCH THIS, UM AND EVEN IF WE CAN YOU GET RON'S NUMBER DOWN. I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY NEGOTIATED RIGHT NOW. AND IT'S THE YEAH, IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S EVERY YEAR. UH I IT'S A TWO OR THREE YEAR TIME FRAME THAT THE CONSORTIUM GOES OUT AND GETS BIDS FOR NEW COLLECTION. UM SO WE COULD START. UM, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHO MANAGES THAT CONTRACT COULD START FIGURING THAT OUT AND. IT DEFINITELY HELPS THAT THERE'S A PRECEDENT WE REFER BACK TO AND SAY YOU'VE ALREADY DONE THIS, ACTUALLY DO THEY REPORT OUT MONTHLY WHAT THEY PICK UP OR IS IT JUST LIKE THE LANE SIGN, AND THEN WE DON'T TALK TO YOU FOR? YOU KNOW WHAT? I COULD GET THAT INFORMATION. SO I HAVE TO MY PARTNER, BUT AS MUCH AS WE YOU KNOW, AND IT WAS SHOWING ME AS DIVERTING ASSUMING THAT 100% OF WHO'S DROPPING STUFF OFF IN THE THREE SPOTS ARE NEW ALBANY RESIDENTS THAT MAYBE THEY ALREADY ARE SHOULD BE GOING DOWN RIGHT? THE PUMPKINS ALONE, RIGHT? IT SEEM LIKE ONE OF THOSE POINTS ABOUT BAXTER WAS THAT YOU KNOW WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED, UH, THERE PROBABLY WASN'T A LOT OF COST SAVINGS AND ALWAYS PICK UP BUT ONCE THEY GOT A LOT OF RESIDENTS INVOLVED THEN THEY REALLY COULD. NEGOTIATE WITH KEY BECAUSE THEY REALLY WERE. THE BURNING A LOT OF THE YOU KNOW, WASTE THAT WOULD A COMPANY ON OK, SO IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING THAT MODEL AT THE FIRST TWO YEARS OR SOMETHING. IS WHEN YOU'RE GONNA HAVE MORE CAUSE AND, THEORETICALLY, IF YOU GET PEOPLE REALLY ON BOARD WITH IT, MAYBE NEIGHBORHOOD BY NEIGHBORHOOD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW, I CAN SEE YOU STARTING IN. THE, UH SMALLER FOOTPRINT NEIGHBORHOODS HAMPSTEAD OR I DON'T DO LINKS OR SOMETHING. UH, BUT WOULD THERE BE A WAY TO FIND FUNDING? TO KIND OF GET THIS THING OFF THE GROUND. AND THEN I MEAN, I GUESS I'M THINKING ABOUT LIKE IS THAT SOMETHING? YOU THINK THE NEW ALBANY FOUNDATION WOULD BE INTERESTED IN? YEAH I'M HELPING GET IT GOING. THE IDEA OF BEING WELL EVENTUALLY. YOU KNOW, IT'S GONNA BE MORE COST EFFECTIVE, SO IT WOULD BE LIKE A THIS MUCH EVERY YEAR. SORT OF THING. YEAH I THINK WE CAN EXPLORE ALL THOSE POSSIBILITIES. I IF WE CAN GET SOME GOOD DATA AROUND, I THINK IT'S LIKE PITCHING ANYTHING TO WHERE YOU WORK OR TO YOUR DECISION MAKERS. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET SOMEONE TO DECIDE? LIKE, YEAH. ONE SHOULD WE LAUNCH THIS AND DO THIS AS A SERVICE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO WHO PICK TO WHO PAYS FOR IT. IS IT A COST TO THE RESIDENT? OR IS IT COST? THE CITY IS GOING TO PICK UP THEN IF WE CAN THINK THROUGH? HOW WE'RE GOING TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS, OR AT LEAST PROVIDE INFORMATION FOR CITY COUNCIL TO MAKE DECISIONS. I THINK WE'RE POSITIONING OURSELVES UP IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. ONE THOUGHT TOO, IS MAYBE IS PART OF THAT. THERE'S A LAST QUESTION ABOUT WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN. ANSWERING A FEW MORE QUESTIONS. WHATEVER THAT MEANS, WHERE THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO IN A LITTLE MORE DEPTH OF HEY, HERE'S 12 QUESTIONS THAT I REALLY WANT TO KNOW BASED ON THIS, AND HERE'S A GROUP OF 10 PEOPLE, AND JUST IT'S LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF A WAY TO GET SOME. THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. WE DO FOCUS GROUPS A LOT FOR DIFFERENT PLANS, AND WE COULD ASK IF SOMEONE WOULD BE WILLING TO PARTICIPATE IN A FOCUS GROUP.BECAUSE THEN YOU CAN REALLY GET IN DEPTH DISCUSSION ABOUT IT BECAUSE I THINK THROUGH LIKE IF YOU START WITH THE END, RIGHT IN THE SCENARIO, WHERE, IF IT'S NINE BUCKS A MONTH CARVE OUT 30 BUCKS FROM RUMP KEY BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT REDUCTION. YOU CAN GET CITY SPONSORSHIP, THE OTHER THIRD IN THE HOMEOWNERS NOW LOOKING AT $3 A MONTH VERSUS A NINE I I'M JUST SAYING THAT MAY BE A COMBINATION THAT EVERYBODY KIND OF LIKES THE WAY THAT WORKS AND THEN YOU GET THE PARTICIPATION THAT MAKES IT ALL COME TOGETHER ANYWAY. YEAH IT'S FUNNY. I LOOKED UP. SO BEXLEY IS LIKE 2.4 SQUARE MILES, AND WE'RE ON THE 17 SQUARE MILES, AND AT LEAST HALF OF THAT, IF NOT MORE IS BUSINESS PARK, BUT THAT'S STILL A BIG DIFFERENCE IN GEOGRAPHY, UM, SO IT WOULD HAVE TO BE PRETTY TARGETED. IT'S A DIFFERENT ANIMAL FOR SURE. SO I LIKE THOSE ADDITIONS. WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO PAY FOR THIS SERVICE? UM ASK IF ANYONE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SERVING ON A FOCUS GROUP BECAUSE I THINK WE COULD. EVEN IF YOU GUYS ARE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING, WE COULD RUN SEVERAL FOCUS GROUPS IF WE WANT TO REALLY GET A GAUGE OF THE INTEREST IN THIS, UM. I MEAN, WE BO SMITH. SOME OF THESE TO KIND OF FILL IT OUT. UM. ARE THERE ANY LIKE BIG AREAS THAT
[01:15:03]
YOU THINK WE'VE MISSED? SO IT WAS A GOOD CALL ON THE ON THE HOUSEHOLD SIZE SHOULD BE. SHOULD WE BE ASKING IF THEY LIVE IN A SINGLE FAMILY MULTIFAMILY. YEAH. LIKE A HOUSING TYPE. QUICK TYPE QUESTION. BECAUSE THAT ENDS UP BEING A PICKUP. HE SITUATION CHALLENGE OR ACTUALLY, MAYBE IT'S TO A BENEFIT IF YOU'RE GOING TO A YEAH, WELL, FIGURE IT OUT FOR A MULTI UNIT. KIND OF FACILITIES. THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. SO I WE DIDN'T ASK THIS OF THEM. I ASSUME THOSE COMMERCIAL THOSE BUSINESSES THEY REFERENCE THEY PROBABLY CONTRACT WITH THEM DIRECTLY. YOU KNOW, OK , UH, YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, HE WAS TALKING ABOUT WORKING WITH QDOBA AND HE WOULD THAT WOULD BE THE BUSINESSES ARE, BUT YEAH. THOSE ARE ALL FRANCHISES. THEY KNOW. WELL CHIPOTLE IS ANOTHER.OH, YEAH, HE KIND OF DANCED AROUND DIDN'T TOUCH STARBUCKS, AND I WAS LIKE, I WANT TO UNDERSTAND, BUT YOU KNOW YEAH, FOR ANOTHER TIME. OK? WELL, THEN THIS IS A GOOD START. THIS IS GOOD DISCUSSION, WE'LL WE'LL FILL THESE QUESTIONS OUT. WE'LL SEND A DRAFT VIA EMAIL TO EVERYONE TO LOOK AT BEFORE WE LAUNCH IT. UM BUT WE'LL BE AIMING FOR LIKE A MID. I'M SORRY, EARLY MARCH LAUNCH OF THE SURVEY. SO KEEP YOUR EYES OUT FOR THAT, UM. AND THEN WE'LL BRING THAT DATA BACK AND IN THE MEANTIME, IF YOU GUYS THINK OF ANY ANY ANALYSIS OR ANY DATA.
YOU WOULD LIKE US TO TRACK DOWN TO TRY TO START PUTTING TOGETHER STRUCTURE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT . I'LL I'LL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OUR CURRENT RUM KEY CONTRACT AND SEE HOW THAT HOW WE PAY FOR THAT . AND YOU YOU'RE ABLE TO DIG INTO. I MEAN, IT'D BE GREAT JUST TO GET THE NUTS AND BOLTS FROM BEXLEY. CITY TO CITY AND ALSO FOR ARLINGTON. JUST TO KIND OF GET AN IDEA ABOUT WHERE DO THESE ALL LAY OUT? OK? THAT'D BE GREAT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, THAT. IT WAS SO THE ONLY OTHER ITEM OF BUSINESS BEFORE OUR ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING IS JUST I KNOW YOU GUYS TALKED ABOUT THIS IN DEPTH. THE LAST MEETING. UM WE'RE STARTING TO FILL OUT EARTH DATA OR BIRTH DAY ACTIVITIES.
UH, WE HAVE CONFIRMED THIS WEEK WITH BOTH VENDORS FOR E WASTE AND, UH HA HAZARDOUS HOUSEHOLD WASTE THAT APRIL. 27TH WORKS FOR THEM. UM, WE'VE HAD SOME INITIAL DISCUSSIONS WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO, UH, FLOW THAT WILL ALLOW BOTH TO HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME.
UH, SO I THINK ALL THAT'S TRACKING VERY WELL. IT MAY BE THE CASE. IF YOU DROP OFF ONE, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO MAKE A LOOP. IF LIKE IF YOU HAVE BOTH TO DO, BUT I THINK IF WE COMMUNICATE THAT WITH PEOPLE, I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE A BIG PROBLEM. UM WE ARE WORKING THE, UM THE GRANT.
THAT'S THE WE CALL IT THE NOEL GRANT BECAUSE THEY'RE BOTH NAMED NOEL. UM PIZZA AND PFIZER. UH, WE GOT THEIR GRANT PAPERWORK. UH, SO WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM ON THEIR, UM, PURCHASE OF THEIR MATERIALS. THEY DID GO TO THE INDOORS FARMERS MARKET LAST WEEK AND HAD 17 SIGN UPS, WHICH WAS FANTASTIC, BECAUSE, AS PETE POINTED OUT, HE SAT AT A FARMERS MARKET IN THE SUMMER AND GOT 1131 NOEL TRUMP. WELL AND THEN THEY ACCURATELY, I THINK IDENTIFIED THAT HAVING GIRL SCOUT COOKIES HELPS AS WELL. SO WE JUST NEED A HOOK. UM SO WHAT PART OF THEIR GRANT IS TO DO SOME SORT OF ACTIVITY ABOUT COMPOSTING DURING EARTH DATA AR DAY WEEK, SO WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM ON THAT PROBABLY BE AT THE LIBRARY. WE'RE HOPING TO BE AT THE LIBRARY. UM, SO WE'LL PUT THAT IN ALL OUR PROMOTIONS ONCE WE'VE KIND OF NAILED DOWN THE TIMING OF THAT, UM, MARY LOU IS WORKING ON AN ARBOR DAY CELEBRATION. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT THAT. YEAH, I THINK, UM, PETE, AND I HAVE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT, BUT WE'RE GONNA GO BACK TO RUSH PARK AGAIN. THERE'S STILL A LOT OF ROOM TO PLANT THERE, AND IT'S EASY FOR THE KIDS TO GET THERE.
UM AS OPPOSED TO BUYING AND I THINK WE DECIDE MAYBE HIGH SCHOOLERS COULD GET THERE. SO IF WE DO HAVE TO TRUST, UM WE HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO DO BOTH TO HAVE THE HIGH SCHOOLERS OF BUYING AND THE YOUNGER KIDS AT RUSH PARK. UM SO WE COULD DO 200 STUDENTS AT RUSH PARK AND UP TO 50 STUDENTS AT BARRINGTON. UM, IF YOU WANNA DO IT LIKE THAT. WE ORDERED THE TREES, SO EVERYTHING IS CONTRACT. AWESOME. GREAT. UM AND THEN A COUPLE THINGS WE'RE WORKING ON. WE'RE TRYING TO, UM, IDENTIFY MAYBE AN EVENING SPEAKER OR PANEL PROGRAM THAT WE COULD DO. UM SO ABBY BROOKS, UH, WITH THE CITY HAS REACHED OUT TO A COUPLE PEOPLE. UM NOTHING'S CONFIRMED YET, BUT WE'RE TRYING
[01:20:05]
TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. ONE EVENING. UM. ONE IDEA WAS, UH UM , A MOVEMENT THAT JUST LIKE THE 1000 HOURS OUTSIDE. UH, IT AIMS AT GETTING PEOPLE OUTSIDE FOR 1000 HOURS. UM, A YEAR. I THINK THAT'S ALL RIGHT. UH, SO THAT SHE REACHED OUT TO THEM TO SEE IF THEY WOULD HAVE ANY INTEREST COMING. UM, WE'VE ALSO TALKED ABOUT CAN WE? WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO CONVENE A PANEL OF DIFFERENT LIKE BUSINESSES IN THE COMMUNITY TO TALK ABOUT THEIR SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS? SO THOSE ARE SOME IDEAS THAT WE'RE WE'RE WORKING WITH RIGHT NOW. UM AND THEN I'M ALSO WORKING WITH HEALTHY NEW ALBANY TO DO A COMMUNITY GARDEN OPEN HOUSE THAT WEEK. MAYBE ON THE WEDNESDAY OF THAT WEEK SOMETIME MIDDAY, IT WOULD BE OUT AT TAYLOR FARM JUST TO TALK ABOUT WHAT IS COMING. UM KIND OF GET AN IDEA OF LIKE WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE AND THEN HELPING YOU ON, YOU MIGHT DO SOME OTHER ACTIVITIES IN THE PARK ITSELF. SO I THINK THAT WEEK IS SHAPING UP TO HAVE A GOOD VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES RELATED TO SUSTAINABILITY IN THE SPORTS WORK. RIGHT? YEAH. SO I KNOW THAT, UM, RUNNING A LITTLE BIT OVER. THAT WAS ALL OF THE BUSINESS WE HAD. UM AND THEN ON[VIII. Other Business ]
