DPW seeks $15,000 for multi‑use transfer‑station container to replace aging unit
Summary
Jim Hall of DPW requested roughly $15,000 to buy a multi‑purpose cardboard/trash container for the transfer station, saying the existing 25‑plus‑year‑old container is rusting and repairs were quoted at about $9,000.
Jim Hall of the Department of Public Works asked the council to fund a new multi‑use cardboard/trash container for the town transfer station.
Hall said the current container is more than 25 years old, rusting significantly, and that vendor repair quotes ran about $9,000. He said a new multi‑purpose container that can be used for cardboard or trash would cost approximately $15,000 and would keep the transfer station operating smoothly for many years.
The request was presented as part of the department’s capital needs for fiscal 2027; the transcript records the presentation only and does not record a vote or procurement direction.
