During the public‑comment period, resident Darlene Duffy said that when Essex County removed the compactor it "left a steam down Irishtown Rd, smells awful," and added that Irishtown Rescue was called and "it took 32 minutes to get an ambulance." The complaint was entered into the public‑comment record; no formal response or action was recorded in the minutes.
