The Town of Westwood's schedule for disposing of holiday cardboard and trees was announced at Select Board's last meeting as the following:
From 7:00 am. to 3:00 p.m. on any date in the periods of December 26th through December 29th & January 2nd through January 5th, Westwood residents can drop off their holiday cardboard at 50 Carby Street in the town's cardboard-only dumpster.
This recycling drop-off opportunity is only for cardboard and excludes trash, wrapping paper, packing peanuts, or other contaminants.
From January 2nd through January 12th, residents can place Christmas trees curbside by their homes at 7:00 a.m. on their scheduled trash collection date. To be accepted for pickup, trees must be free of plastic, tinsel, stands, and other materials.
Yay Westwood! To look up whether specific items are recyclable in our carts (only clean paper, cardboard, bottles, cans and rigid containers), check out the searchable Recyclopedia here https://recyclesmartma.org/
Has there been a breakdown of how much of the contaminated recycling comes from commercial vs. residential recycling bins?
Sunny, with a high of 59 and low of 35 degrees. Sunny during the morning, clear during the afternoon and evening,
The rebooted project has been described as about 20 percent smaller in square footage and about $1.62 million or 4 percent less expensive than the prior proposal, using dollars not adjusted for inflation.…. Is this really better?
No. But it’s only going to get worse. Just like it would have been better to build a combined station. Let’s just vote Yes before it gets any worse.
Get worse? It did. This latest plan is a farce. 40,000,000? So much for the steering committee doing their research. Anybody take the time to read the opponent's reference in the question #10 mailing from the town? His example being what thery did in Rockland? About what we could get for so much less.
