The Westwood Department of Public Works (DPW) is hosting eight days of cardboard recycling from the end of 2022 through the beginning of 2023. DPW will also be collecting trees, curbside, in early to mid-January 2023. For where and when, see below!
Drop off your cardboard at DPW at 50 Carby Street from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on any of the following days:
Tuesday, December 27, 2022 through Friday, December 30, 2022;
Tuesday, January 3, 2023 through Friday, January 6, 2023.
Leave your tree curbside, by 7:00 a.m. on your regular trash/recycling collection day during the period of:
Tuesday, January 3, 2023 through Friday, January 13, 2023.
To be eligible for collection, trees must have no ornaments, tinsel, plastic, stands or any other material attached.
Sunny, with a high of 91 and low of 63 degrees. Sunny in the morning, partly cloudy for the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
This needed to happen 5 years ago. But now the real wrangling begins as MPT will fight to get as much $$$ as they can from the state as possible”just compensation.”
I appreciate all of the work and time that the FS1 Steering Committee and Select Board have put into this process. I've also noticed a big difference in communication around this from the town on Facebook and Westwood Wire. This feels like a much different process than the first time around.
Combing the FS1 vote with the general election makes a ton of sense, and in fact, makes me wonder why not do this will ALL elections instead of holding town elections in April?
Just a reminder that you can e-mail the FS1 Committee at FS1Committee@westwoodma.gov with questions/feedback, etc.
Two different votes for the Project?
First one in October for 'site selection, budget, and funding sources' for a new FS1.
Then, a November vote for 'designing, constructing, equipping, and furnishing' of a new FS1.
Seems repetitive.
