Wareham Selectmen talk trash and cash
Wicked Local
WAREHAM – Selectmen are considering trash discounts for seniors, seasonal homeowners and abatements for people who have another means of disposing their trash.
But Selectman Patrick Tropeano noted the board had a lot of work to do to determine what can actually be done.
Town Administrator Derek Sullivan said during Tuesday s meeting they had initially hoped to steer clear of discounts in the trash program’s first year to make sure that revenue would be adequate to keep it running without needing more money.
But $125,000 was saved at the outset when hauler ABC agreed to buy the program’s trash bins. Sullivan added, though, that the $125,000 “will be eaten up quickly.”
