Board of Assessors keeps twice-weekly transfer-station collection, discusses enclosure and grading
Summary
The Sandy River Board of Assessors reviewed grading and upgrade needs at the landfill and transfer station and unanimously decided to maintain twice-weekly collection service rather than add another dumpster. The board also discussed a potential enclosed structure for containers and office space for the attendant.
The Sandy River Board of Assessors reviewed needs for grading and repairs at the municipal landfill and transfer station and unanimously decided to keep twice-weekly dump service, rejecting a request for an additional dumpster.
The Board discussed options to improve the transfer station’s site layout, including the possibility of constructing a new enclosed structure that would house containers and provide office space for the site attendant. The discussion covered grading improvements and other capital upgrades to address site functionality and staffing needs. The Board did not direct immediate capital expenditure beyond continuing current service frequency.
Board members recorded a unanimous decision to maintain the current twice-weekly collection schedule. No formal motion text or vote tallies were recorded in the minutes. The clerk will track needed repairs and quotes and report back to the Board at a future meeting.
The decision leaves the Board room for future capital planning: if the enclosure or grading work proceeds, members indicated additional planning and budgeting steps will be required before any construction begins.
