Special Cop to Screen Refuse at City Dump
A city dump regulation plan enlists a special police officer to check for proper permits and prevent out-of-town trash. City Engineer Sydney A. Rapp announced the measure after complaints about unauthorized disposal at the dump. The plan, adopted July 20 1980, requires permits from the engineer’s office and aims to curb refuse from outside shopping centers while keeping dump hours 7:00 am to 5:00 pm daily except Sundays and holidays. Community concerns include a large tire fire over Labour Day weekend that drew complaints about odor and smoke. The city and town will share oversight, though direct supervision remains with the city.
