Select Board notes $15,000 hazardous-waste day bill; turnout up 22% from prior year
Summary
Board members reported hazardous-waste event costs near $15,000 (combined with shredding and Casella services) and said participation increased about 22% year-over-year; members called the expense "money well spent."
Select Board members reviewed final bills from the town's hazardous-waste day, confirming combined costs — from the hazardous-waste hauler, a Casella dumpster and a shredding event — came to nearly $15,000.
"Almost $15," a board member said when reporting the bill; the same member noted turnout was high and the transfer-station units handled that volume, reporting a 22% increase in activity compared with the prior year. Board members characterized the expense as justified by community participation and environmental benefit.
The board did not change the program but logged the expense for budget planning and noted the solid-waste committee will review contract options and potential cost-sharing or alternative arrangements ahead of the next procurement cycle.
