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.
Moderate rain, with a high of 46 and low of 33 degrees. Mist during the morning, overcast during the afternoon, clear in the evening, light rain overnight.
The cost of $27,000 could have been avoided if the tax payers were notified about the idea of taking the WLT to court and it was discussed at a regular town meeting. Especially when a town takes the unusual step of taking its own land trust to court.
