Road commissioner warns pulling MSW container is damaging Transfer Station ramp
Summary
Road Commissioner Will Langley and Transfer Station Superintendent Jon Rouleau told the Select Board that routinely pulling the MSW container up the ramp has caused indents and a ripped spot on the pavement; they discussed resurfacing, adding a second compactor, and temporary demo-container options.
Will Langley, the Town's Road Commissioner, described repeated pavement damage when the MSW container is pulled up the ramp: he said the dumpster and skid steer "have been making some indents and there is one spot that was ripped up by the Skid Steer." Langley urged limiting container pulls to prevent further damage and recommended considering resurfacing when related work is done.
The board discussed operational fixes: installing a second compactor to avoid repeated pulling, placing MSW into a demo container temporarily while work is done, and resurfacing the ramp as part of planned maintenance. Rouleau also raised traffic-safety concerns when vehicles queue on H Road during busy periods and suggested considering holiday scheduling changes or cameras to monitor operations.
