Pre-Survey (USDA Rural Development Expanded Outreach Grant)

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

The goal of the survey is to measure awareness, and attitudes of residents’ abilities to properly divert waste and unwanted items from the landfill. By measuring pre and post surveys, analysis will bring out the key indicators of providing outreach training and follow up understanding one’s options on solid waste management. Information learned will assist in identifying unrealized opportunities. This may include reducing your tax rate, increasing your expendable household income available, and improving the community.

We will be using responses to confirm pre and post survey completions and a means to provide other relevant materials of all town residents. No personal information, or information that could identify a person will be distributed to anyone. This information will be strictly confidential.
