Council to meet with Waste Management after clamshell pickup damages
Summary
Council members raised complaints about Waste Management's clamshell truck removing vegetation and leaving holes; Waste Management filled holes on Jan. 6 and requested a meeting with the Mayor and Clerk to review issues.
Residents and council members discussed damage from Waste Management’s clamshell truck, which reportedly removed vegetation and left holes at several parcels. The company filled the holes on Jan. 6; the minutes record correspondence from Jeff Sabin, Manager – Public Sector Solutions for Waste Management, requesting a meeting with the Mayor and Clerk to review the situation and discuss opportunities for improvement.
Mayor Russ Nidy said he will wait a few weeks to monitor how well the fill holds before scheduling the meeting. A resident (Richard Castiglia) suggested adding layers of pebbles atop dirt to reduce future loss of soil when vegetation is removed. Council did not schedule an immediate remedy at the meeting but noted follow-up correspondence and a planned outreach from Waste Management.
