petitions that had gathered 1,597 signatures “in less than three weeks.”
Henry Gorfein said when he moved to the county everybody had a bum barrel that could hold four weeks worth of trash. He said the county should start a program to educate people about recycling, composting and reducing the volume of trash. “You could financially operate the dumpsters without having to close them,” he said.
Newbill Miller Was the only person to speak in favor of the decision to close the dumpsters. “I don’t want to address what could be or what should be but what is. The unmanned dumpster sites are a liability.” He said if someone put a toxic substance in the dumpsters it could cost the county millions.,
He said rainwater and water from dousing fires at the dumpster at Huntly leaches into Indian Run. “I don’t think you have a choice....You made the right decision. Stick to it.”
Garland Sealock asked if it would not be a greater risk to close the dumpsters and have people put the toxic substance along the highways.
Mr. Dwyer asked, “What are the liability claims so far?” He said there would also be leakage from private dumps.
Arland Welch said she would like to see the dumpster left open and manned. “Even with the dumpsters open 1 have trash thrown on me.”
Phil Irwin said he remembers before the dumpsters were put in when trash was along most of the county roads. “I would hate to see the county revert to that situation,” he said. “Don’t close them until we have the answer.”
