Board debates how to enforce 'control the trash' during construction

Board members reviewed a recent instance where construction debris and a pile of trash blew across a site and questioned whether the town's ordinance language — which requires contractors to "control the trash" — is specific enough to prevent repeat problems. Members argued the current wording leaves room for differing interpretations about acceptable measures (for example, a pile versus a container), and they discussed requiring contractors to submit a waste-control plan with building permits.
