Transfer station plans: stump dump, soils reuse and donated composter discussed
Staff reported the stump dump is near capacity and estimated ~$5,000 to push and cover stumps; the town will explore using soils from other projects to top areas, obtain an electrical/site plan for a donated composter, and consider container/compactor options to improve recycling.
The full story
The town’s transfer-station manager updated the Select Board on several solid-waste items. The current stump-dump area is nearly full; staff described a simple two‑page application to move or close the old site and open a new one, and quoted roughly $5,000 to push stumps and cover the old area. Board members discussed whether soils from other town projects could be used to top off areas and whether nearby pits could receive material.
