County recycling plan raises concerns about town hauling and cleanup responsibilities
Summary
Monch County Recycling proposed sealed cardboard containers and occasional pickup using town vehicles; council members said the original plan did not include town labor or vehicle use and asked staff to reiterate that operational transport and cleanup were the county's responsibility.
Monch County Recycling representatives proposed placing sealed cardboard containers in town and using a town employee and vehicle to transport full units to Paoli, keeping an empty unit on hand to exchange. Council members said that operational responsibility and transport were not part of the original agreement and expressed reluctance to assign town staff to handle exchanges or cleanup.
The council debated interim options — such as temporary relocation of containers to permit town fence work — but maintained that any long-term arrangement that required town employees to transport and manage containers would need a separate agreement. Members asked staff to return to the county-recycling representatives and clarify that the original proposal did not require town labor for unit exchange and cleanup.
