Senior Citizen Advisory Commission - Oct 20, 2026
Windsor's only bottle/can redemption center now requires a smartphone app, cutting off seniors who relied on cashing in cans as income. The town doesn't operate the center and is searching for an alternate provider, and the senior center offers tech help with the app.
Parks and Recreation Commission - Aug 12, 2026
The CRV redemption program, run by United Cerebral Palsy with a CalRecycle grant, has moved to 5885 Pruitt Avenue. It's now drop-off only with an online account and QR-code payment system, and the hauler's office is helping distribute collection bags.
