Selectboard approves three‑month trial for small clothing bin at town facility
Summary
The Woodstock Selectboard approved a three‑month trial allowing a small 3x3 clothing collection bin at a town location, subject to placement logistics and staff review.
The Woodstock Selectboard approved a three‑month trial to allow a small clothing collection bin to be placed on town property for community clothing donations.
A proponent told the board the organization currently services nearby communities and that they would like to add a stop in Woodstock; the bin operator proposed a 3‑by‑3 shed for clothing, shoes and accessories only. Board members discussed placement concerns, aesthetics and logistics and agreed a short trial would allow town staff to assess impacts.
The board asked the town public‑works director to identify a feasible location and to ensure the bin would not interfere with emergency vehicle access or winter operations. The trial will be monitored and can be ended or moved if it creates conflicts with site operations or appearance.
Ending
The bin will be allowed on a three‑month trial; the operator and town will coordinate on placement and monitoring. The board asked staff to report back on any issues at the end of the trial period.
