In an emergency Town Council meeting June 25, the panel decided it had no other choice but to put a temporary trash collection system in place. Large dumpsters, known as “roll-offs" will be placed at various sites around town and residents will take their own trash there for disposal. The interim solution will begin after July 6 as soon as the public works department can implement the plan.
The measure came about as a result of a June 23 referendum that rejected a planned for automated system with Trash-Away scheduled to begin the first full week of July.
Corporation Counsel Robert Weber called the future outlook for the town, in terms of breaking its five year contract with Trash-Away, as potentially catastrophic.
