newsletters, social media, interviews, print ads, etc. She also stated that the collector trucks will have display boards as well.

The Manager of Waste Diversion stated that there are no foreseen financial implications. She also noted that on pages 24-27 of the agenda package are examples of the resources the collaborative has worked on. She also stated a media release came out this week.

Mr. McKenzie stated that he appreciates all the work that went into a communication like this. In terms of social media, Mr. McKenzie asked if the City of Windsor and the County municipalities will also be communicating this information on their own websites and social media.

The Manager of Waste Diversion stated that the City of Windsor has been “pushing out” this information and EWSWA has been “tagging” the City of Windsor and the municipalities through social media.

Mr. McKenzie asked if the community is understanding all of this information and are we seeing less plastic bags since this launch.

The Manager of Waste Diversion stated that there have not been any checks done yet.

The Manager of Waste Diversion stated that plastic bags were never accepted in the blue box program but collectors picked them up anyway. If they do use a plastic bag it should go in the garbage and not in the blue box.

Mr. Kaschak commented on how plastic bags have come in to play due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
