New recycling coordinator introduces transfer-station changes; brush burning to end
Summary
John Hurd, the town’s new recycling coordinator, introduced himself to the Selectboard and said the transfer station will discontinue brush burning; he replaces Esther Fishman.
John Hurd introduced himself to the Weston Selectboard as the town’s new recycling coordinator, replacing Esther Fishman. Hurd described changes at the transfer station intended to update operations and materials handling.
One substantive operational change he reported was the discontinuation of brush burning at the transfer station. The board did not record a formal vote on the operational change at the Aug. 12 meeting; Hurd’s introduction and the reported change were recorded in the minutes and will be followed up in future staff discussions or meetings as needed.
Why this matters: changes to transfer-station procedures can affect residents’ disposal options and town costs; the board will monitor implementation and any needed communication with residents about accepted materials and procedures.
