Description of Fellowship
Madeleine will be working with Alicia Hunt, the Director of Planning, Development & Sustainability in Medford to help develop equitable proposals around the city’s waste: looking at garbage, recycling, and composting services for homes and businesses, and creating recommendations for the Mayor and task force about what is best for the community and environment and would be implementable in Medford over the next 18 months as their waste removal contract expires this year.
