City climate czar Winter: Get ready for curbside compost.
Seagulls swoop above the trash pile at the city transfer station.
CWPM operations manager Carl Oberg fires a "screamer" to disperse seagulls from the dump. He said he fires this loud-sound device up to 15 times a day. Why? Because seagulls pick up trash and drag it all over the place. Also, "they're known to poop."
The star of a press conference at the city dump Thursday afternoon was an unassuming green plastic bag that, in the not-too-distant future, New Haveners will fill with apple cores and banana peels and leave for curbside pickup on trash day.
