Transfer Station inspection flags corrective items; board assigns follow‑ups
Summary
An AMR inspection of Middletown Springs Transfer Station found the facility well managed but listed several corrective items — add sawdust to food‑waste containers, update facility management plan and signage, verify scrap‑metal destinations, and confirm e‑waste/food‑waste onsite limits — with a 14‑day window to respond.
The Select Board reviewed an AMR inspection report of the town transfer station conducted on May 27. The inspection described the facility as "well managed" but listed specific actions the town must address within 14 days.
Voice 4 read the inspection highlights and the action items: add sawdust or wood shavings to food‑waste containers daily (about 6 inches at day's end), update the facility management plan and certification to reflect current hours, post updated signage for banned items and e‑waste handling, and confirm the destination facility for scrap metal shipments. The inspection also noted on‑site limits for e‑waste and food waste and asked the town to review how many gaylords and containers are being used.
The board accepted the report, arranged for extra sawdust to be provided, asked staff to update signage and certification details, and assigned follow‑up tasks to confirm off‑site destinations for scrap metal and to check container counts against certification limits.
