What are we doing to reduce use of potentially hazardous chemicals in City operations?
Thanks to the work of custodial and purchasing staff from across City departments, there are six new contracts for over 30 environmentally-friendly cleaning products. These products are not only better for the environment, but also improve the health and safety of our buildings, are cost effective and they work! Additionally, City grounds staff have phased out the use of a wide range of pesticides as well as reduced overall pesticide use.
