CIGAR 170 REVERE ST., REVERE (781) 289-4959 percent of all waste that ends up in landfi lls or incinerators can be composted. Ash and emissions from Win Waste have been a health concern for residents, particularly for those who live in wards 1 and 5. The proposal on the table asks that Mayor Patrick Keefe invest $125,000 “from a mix of mitigation money, including mitigation monies from the traditional waste disposal programs, the general fund, or state, federal, or private grants, off setting funds, toward creating and maintaining a partially or fully subsidized curb-side composting program for residents of Revere.” The city will track the number of participants, tonnage of waste diverted from regular waste programs, money saved by the city and money spent by residents to participate. Former City Council candidate and community activist AnthoCelebrating Our 52nd Year Chris 2024 T Angela Guarino-Sawaya Ward 5 Councillor ny Parziale asked if the city could pick up the cost of the program since its saving money for the city. “Why should people pay?” he asked. The proposal also calls for opening a revolving account for any savings from composting and to use any money deposited to fund and expand curbside composting. Another resident asked if the Board of Health has weighed in on the composting proposal. He said there may be concerns about rats and disease. He also suggested that containers for compost, which will be provided to participants, should be made of metal rather than plastic because rats are able to bite through plastic. Juan Pablo Jaramillo Councillor-at-Large Jaramillo said he thought composting containers would be similar to trash and recycling containers. A member of the Winthrop chapter of Clean Water Action, which mounts campaigns on a variety of local environmental issues, said that composting in Winthrop has not led to any health or rodent issues. She added that the federal Environmental Protection Agency has a grant program for start-up composting that could off set local costs. Former DPW superintendent and Ward 4 Councillor Paul Argenzio said he is in full support of the composting program, adding that anything that will divert waste out of the waste stream is a positive move.
