Nelson board explores sharing Harrisville recycling center; site visit planned
Summary
Chair Brenna Kucinski reported Nelson and Harrisville officials discussed a possible shared recycling center; Harrisville is open to the idea but further research is needed and Nelson could face costs up to about $10,000 plus sticker fees. The board agreed to a site visit next Wednesday at 1:00 PM.
Chair Brenna Kucinski told the Select Board on April 30 that she had met with the Harrisville Select Board to discuss the possibility of Nelson residents using Harrisville’s recycling center. Harrisville officials were reported to be open to the idea but cautioned that additional information is required before any agreement could be reached.
Kucinski said one rough estimate for Nelson’s share of cost could be as much as $10,000 plus individual sticker fees, though she emphasized Harrisville would need to provide more detail on expenses and the number of Nelson residents who would use the facility before any figure could be confirmed. The board agreed that further research is needed and approved a site visit to the Harrisville recycling center next Wednesday at 1:00 PM, subject to the Harrisville attendant’s availability.
No formal intermunicipal agreement or budget appropriation was voted at the meeting; the discussion was recorded as exploratory.
