Environmental Board



The Environmental Board addresses environmental issues that may include environmental pollution, solar orientation, water quality, air quality, use of pesticides and herbicides, transportation, water conservation, and recycling and solid waste.


The Environmental Board provides analysis and recommendation to the Town Board of Trustees (BOT) regarding environmental issues including coordinated development, the handling of issues within the Town and its environment which will, in accordance with present and future needs, best promote health, safety, order, convenience, prosperity, and the general welfare of the Town and its citizens.

Members of the Town of Carbondale Environmental Board and many citizen volunteers combine efforts to produce the annual Dandelion Day festival.

The Town of Carbondale is launching a Residential Turf Buy-Back program March 15, 2024. Carbondale residents who irrigate their grass with town water are eligible to apply. The best way to lower your monthly water bill, conserve water, and support biodiversity is to remove some or all of your lawn and replace it with a low-water landscape. Residents will receive $2/sf of irrigated turf removed. Join us in creating beautiful landscapes that are good for people and the environment! Applications will be available at Town Hall or on the Town website.
