Shelter Island to temporarily waive residential debris fees after storm; recommends scale tracking

Board members discussed community clean-up following a recent storm and agreed to a limited waiver of disposal fees for residential homeowners for a short time window. Ken, joining by Zoom, advised that residents be asked to drive over the scale so the town can track weights and estimate lost revenues; he recommended the waiver extend through the end of the week or into the following Tuesday so residents have time to clean up.

Officials clarified the waiver would not apply to commercial contractors, who would continue to be charged when bringing material to the recycling center. The board agreed to post the waiver and instructions on the town website and social media.
