Boy Scout proposes retired‑flag disposal bin at transfer station
Summary
Dylan of Troop 33 presented an Eagle Scout project to place a retired flag disposal bin at the transfer station; the board expressed general support but requested more detailed plans, including site location and anchoring details.
A Boy Scout representing Troop 33 presented an Eagle Scout project to the Durham–Middlefield advisory board on June 25 proposing a retired flag disposal bin at the transfer station.
Dylan described plans that include a concrete slab to anchor the box, two possible box designs and a covered overhang. He said the troop would remove flags during bottle collections, hold a flag burning ceremony, and perform ongoing maintenance. John Jenkins said the group was seeking preliminary approval and would conduct additional research before returning with specifics. Board member Charles (Charlie) Zieminski suggested contacting the Post Office about siting a receptacle.
Chairman Dom DelVecchio said the board appeared generally favorable but asked to see more detailed plans; one board member expressed concern about the proposed concrete slab and Jenkins clarified the slab was intended to anchor the box. No formal vote was taken; the presentation was recorded as new business and the troop will return with further information.
