Suzanne Tresko from Spokane County Solid Waste is applying for the Regular Coordinated Prevention Grants which are used for things like the Yard Debris Day and educational sessions.
She commented that the communties can apply for these grants themselves but the funds are population-based so the smaller communities do not receive much funding.
Suzanne is asking the communities for suggestions on what they would apply for so that these can be included in the grant OR the Solid Waste could already have it in their program.
One suggestion is a compost training class. She's checking with her educators and the compost class could be tentatively scheduled for the same day as the yard debris, which is October 22, 2011 in Fairfield.
Cheryl Loeffler, Fairfield Clerk/Treasurer, also mentioned perhaps a pick-up day for a large item such as furniture or refrigerator. Suzanne will work on that and perhaps that can be included on the spring yard debris day.
For more information contact Fairfield Town Hall, (509) 283-2414 or email, townoffairfield@rezmail.com.
