• Survey online to gauge interest in composting (jamestownpress.com) — Jamestown residents are being asked to complete a short online survey about potential town-supported composting options that could cut landfill costs and keep organic waste out of Johnston. Sustainability coordinator Carissa Mills outlines curbside pickup, drop-off, and other approaches, noting Jamestown exceeded its 2024 landfill cap and paid higher tipping fees. Survey responses will guide grant applications and next steps.
