Council weighs supervised hours to curb illegal dumping at Purdy limb pile
Summary
Council members discussed resident complaints about illegal dumping at the Purdy limb pile and considered supervised opening hours or hiring a monitor to deter dumping; the town manager said he will investigate and return with options.
Several council members and the town manager discussed repeated illegal dumping at the limb pile on Purdy Road and resident frustration about debris left behind. One council member said, “But I think the only way we're gonna keep trash from getting there is to pay somebody to watch it,” proposing supervised gate hours or a part-time monitor.
Town Manager Alan acknowledged the problem, said the town previously burned the pile, and committed to look into supervised hours or other approaches and report back to the council at a future meeting. No formal policy change or vote was taken; the manager said he would bring options and cost estimates.
