A.Due to other committee priorities and lack of available volunteers the
Recycling Committee will not be sponsoring an information table at the
upcoming Sheep Shearing Festival or the Fourth of July celebration. (note: the
Sheep Shearing Festival was canceled for 2006 due to saturated grounds.)
B.Town Meeting Preparation-the committee will respond to any requestfor
input from the Board of Selectmen regarding trash fees and the ‘Pay As You
Throw” models. Tina will offer our assistance to the Board.
C. Redeemable beverage can audit-Steve Daly has been in touch with Boy Scout
Troop # 87. However, lining up the Scouts to be available when the roll-off is
fairly full and the weather is cooperating-has been difficult to schedule. The
scouts are willing to try again in the fall.
D. Rain barrels-Will be available this year but without the DEP grant subsidy.
Residents can purchase these for $62.00 ea. Residents can order directly from
the manufacturer. Adelivery day for all received orders will be arranged.
(Because of the time involved in Annual Town Meeting and Special Town
Meeting, the Committee could not organize a distribution day)
