The City of Green Bay Sustainability Commission met on October 21, 2026. Members discussed improving recycling at Bay Beach Amusement Park, including a possible reverse vending machine pilot estimated to cost about $6,000. Parks staff cited ongoing maintenance and incentive costs, seasonal use, contamination, and the need to identify a suitable location. Members discussed grants, sponsorships, and other external funding, and developing broader, phased recommendations for recycling improvements. The Commission passed a motion to refer the reverse vending machine discussion to its Waste Work Group; no purchase or funding approval was made. Shipyard Park was mentioned as a possible future location, but it is not expected to be ready until 2027 or later.
