Marina trash problems prompt contractor sweep and plan for enclosed dumpster
Summary
Following reports of overflowing cans and debris washing into the marsh, staff contracted an island sweep for marina areas, proposed netting under the boardwalk to catch blowing debris, and recommended enclosed dumpster enclosures with coded access for commercial haulers.
Committee heard detailed accounts of accumulated trash at the marina and near the restaurant dock; staff said the city contracted FVS Contracting to do a targeted sweep and will install a discreet net below the boardwalk to capture windblown debris until more permanent solutions are in place. "We're gonna do an island wide sweep again, get out into the marsh, pick all that stuff up," a staffer said, describing plans to schedule a cleanup this week.
Staff and committee discussed that placing open trash cans can invite misuse and overflow, and noted some restaurant and dock dumpster gates remain open and accessible; staff recommended enclosed enclosures with access codes for commercial haulers to reduce improper dumping and to make day-to-day service easier for haulers and staff.
