Landfill dumpsters
Discussed
A landfill attendant reported that a dumpster was full of metal and the truck refused to empty it, and that staff cannot reach in to remove the metal. The board was concerned about trucks declining to empty the town's dumpsters. In August it had discussed adding a note to water bills that dumpsters are a privilege and the county will remove them if misuse continues.
