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.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 48 and low of 31 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Overcast during the morning, light drizzle overnight.
These are great strides in addressing concerns about a lack of openness and two way dialogue raised by Westwood citizens. Thanks to the Select Board and to Mr. Read for listening and acting.
Thank you Ms. Galkowski for this thoughtful acknowledgement of positive steps being made by our Town government. My generation loves the positive empowerment. Exemplary.
In promulgating the public comment policy, the Select Board has taken a big step towards showing willingness to engage in conversation with Westwood residents about the many important issues at hand—currently, the Fire Station 1 and the budget.
