Lancaster transfer station paving finished; operators report ongoing recycling and equipment issues
Summary
Transfer Station supervisor Rusty Scott reported the paving contract is complete though equipment complications and discovered repairs required additional work; electronics and tires were removed and plastics remain difficult to market.
The Lancaster transfer station’s paving work is complete, but staff reported follow-up repairs and ongoing recycling challenges at the June 1 Select Board meeting.
Transfer Station supervisor Rusty Scott said the paving company experienced equipment complications during work but finished the job. Milling uncovered repairs underneath the surface that staff addressed; the loader reached its 500-hour maintenance interval and repairs were made to the MSW chute, which had detached from its concrete seating.
Scott said the facility has removed electronics and tires but that market prices for recyclables have not rebounded and plastics remain difficult to dispose of; he said the town expects to ship some materials in the coming weeks. The minutes do not list contract vendors or costs for the paving or disposal shipments.
