Select Board votes to stop accepting brush at transfer station
Summary
Citing clogged stump‑dump space now that brush burning has ceased, the Select Board voted to stop accepting brush at the transfer station; the change was approved by voice vote.
The Select Board discussed brush disposal at the transfer station following the town's cessation of on‑site brush burning. Members agreed that incoming brush further clogs the stump dump and that continuing to accept it was no longer reasonable.
A board member moved that the town stop taking brush at the transfer station. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Why it matters: Stopping brush acceptance affects residents who previously used the transfer station for disposal; the board did not discuss a replacement option (such as scheduled pickups or alternative drop‑off sites) at this meeting.
Next steps: The change takes effect as a board policy decision; staff and the public will need communication about alternative brush disposal options and any timing for implementation.
