As of late July, recycling service in Houston is three to five days behind schedule. Complaints to 311 about missed pickups soared to 15,000 over the past 12 weeks compared to 4,000 during the same period in 2024.
Congratulations to Richard Gonzalez, who’s retiring after 23 years of service with Athens Services.
Solid-waste disposal is one of the most essential services in any well-run community. The fact that It Just Works here, without residents and businesses having to think much about it, is a testament to the professionalism and hard work of Richard and team. Enjoy your retirement!
Reposted from @gogreen_toaks and @cityofthousandoaks: Clean up the yard and the garage and take advantage of Free Landfill Day on Saturday, March 15th, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Calabasas Landfill (5300 Lost Hills Road, Agoura Hills). Bring your excess trash, unwanted bulky items, landscape trimmings, or home remodel waste, and dispose of it for free.
The event is open to Thousand Oaks residents only; a valid ID or utility bill is required for proof of residency. Residents can bring up to two loads per event. For a list of acceptable items, visit toaks.gov/landfillday.

Grateful to the board of the Ventura Regional Sanitation District for naming me to another 1-year term as its chair. The district provides wastewater treatment services (for which Thousand Oaks is a customer) and operates solid-waste facilities including the Toland Road landfill between Santa Paula and Fillmore. Toland Road is the only public landfill in Ventura County.
VRSD will see some management turnover in the coming year with the pending retirement of several key staff members, including general manager Chris Theisen. The recruiting process is already under way. (1/2)
VRSD received an emergency use permit to accept debris from the recent Mountain Fire. Because Toland Road does not accept hazardous waste, debris is first cleared of toxic materials and then "burrito wrapped" to avoid any possible groundwater contamination. This policy worked well after the 2017 Thomas fire, and will continue to protect groundwater supplies after this and future fires. (2/2)

The City of Houston expects to have its first pass of Beryl debris pickup completed by early to mid-August, or about 30 days after crews began picking up downed trees, fallen limbs, and other objects.

[By some estimates, we ingest about a credit card's worth of plastic every single week (link #2), but this very much varies by location (link #1)]

“‘They lied’: #plastics producers deceived public about #recycling, report reveals“ writes the Guardian. #deception about #SolidWaste and with #UlrichBeck I'm thinking of #OrganisedIrresponsibility
I get the impression that #hotels are trying to do their part to reduce #solidwaste. Every year the trash bins get smaller.

@spiraledu Thanks for mentioning local candidate suggesting regional incineration ot garbage. Last incinerator in Juneau never did pass emissions test and Iʼve heard that the humid climate makes incinerating (even for power) infeasible. Iʼd like to tap the methan that is currently flared. #Alaska #solidwaste #SEAlaska

For #SoutheastAsia, #solidwaste proliferation and increasingly ltd. #landfill space has invited the idea of #WTE incineration as a major solution. Advocates argue that 'developed' nations use WTE to harness power as a by-product of the process; But the critiques are salient,
1) Regulatory monitoring, compliance/enforcement of #toxicair releases for #ASEAN nations are ltd. at best.
2) WTE activity can serve to gaslight the #pollution #impact(s) of #linear #economy.
