Omaha needs to take significant action to improve our waste management beyond a new collection contract. We miss out on economic opportunities due to our low diversion rate. As a resident of Omaha, I would like the opportunity to engage in our city's progress. I urge you to establish a formal Resident Engagement Program so that the people of Omaha can volunteer our talents and energy with City Departments and the Mayor's Office.
