Millis approves small recycling and equipment grants and a contract for ornamental street lights
Summary
The board authorized the DPW director to accept two MassDEP grants ($3,780 recycling dividend and $10,000 drop-off equipment) to support transfer‑station upgrades and approved a not‑to‑exceed $70,900 contract with Standard Electric Wilmington to replace 10 ornamental street‑light poles.
The DPW Director asked the board to accept two MassDEP sustainable-materials awards: a recycling program dividend of $3,780 and a $10,000 drop-off‑equipment grant to help fund a cardboard compactor. The director said the transfer station will likely change fee structures and accept more items (refrigerators, air conditioners) under a new contract that will increase disposal costs but broaden services; staff plan to return in January with a full cost/fee proposal.
Separately, the board approved and authorized the town administrator to sign a contract with Standard Electric Wilmington for placement of 10 ornamental street‑light poles at a cost not to exceed $70,900. Board members praised the appearance improvements along Route 109.
