I appreciate the article by Allison Drescher regarding our rising property taxes. I support a new fire station. I am concerned about what the future has in store. I.e., What is the plan for the Deerfield School? What we know is the students and teachers will be moved to the new Pine Hill School during the February, 2024 school vacation. However, what is the plan after the move (one month from now)? Is it going to be used to house something else that is in the plans? Apparently, it is not available to temporarily house the WFD since the Legion building is going to be used for that purpose. I know of senior citizens who are forced to sell their homes due to the continuously rising Westwood property taxes. How is this fair?

A wonderful cause. When it's time to dispose of the tea lights, please remove and recycle the batteries (Staples takes them), and put the light in trash, not recycling Batteries cause fires in trash trucks and at facilities.

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?
