What type of coordination is being done with community composting groups that are doing a lot of education and outreach at this moment?
Joshua Goodman

So far some, with a plan to do a lot more.
1:43:18
So far because those contracts have just sort of been coming online after the FY 25 adopted budget, we have shared all of our outreach materials and have had conversations about, hey, this is what we're giving out the doors.
1:43:30
We'd love it if you were giving it out of the doors too.
1:43:32
You know, please take this to your outreach events.
1:43:34
We've provided a lot of materials.
1:43:36
But going forward into the new year, we plan to work with those groups more closely on specific coordination around like, hey, can you, you know, do some work in this neighborhood?
1:43:45
You know, we're getting a lot of questions from here.
1:43:46
Can you help us with that?
1:43:48
So some now, those conversations are ongoing, and we certainly want to ramp it up.
1:43:51
When is enforcement gonna start?
1:43:53
I believe the law says April 2025.
1:43:57
It might be March 2025.
1:43:58
Whatever it says in local law, 89.

So there's there's a there's ample opportunity here.
