Council discusses supervised hours to curb illegal dumping at limb pile
Summary
Council members described recurring illegal dumping at the Purdy limb pile and suggested supervised opening hours (for example, a few hours twice a month) to reduce trash and save cleanup costs; the town manager said he will investigate and report back.
Councilors raised repeated complaints from residents about illegal dumping at the limb pile on Purdy Road and discussed options to reduce the problem. One council member suggested a supervised opening schedule — for example, four hours twice a month — so residents know when disposal is allowed and staff can deter prohibited dumping.
Alan (town manager) acknowledged prior burns and said the town had stopped some operations but that staff would look into reapproaching the problem and bring options back to council. "I'll talk with staff and see if we can figure out. I'll bring back some information for you," he said. Councilors said limited supervised hours could keep the site cleaner and possibly reduce long‑term cleanup costs.
