Transfer Station reports two aluminum bales ready, operator addresses gate-closing concerns

Philip Riendeau updated the board on Transfer Station operations, reporting that two aluminum bales have already been prepared and a third is expected to be ready on Friday. He said a bale is worth “about $200.00 per bale,” answering a direct question from Fran Shippee about bale value.

Shippee raised a complaint that the Transfer Station gate had been closed early; Riendeau clarified that the gate is closed at the top at 4:15, but patrons are still able to come in. During public comment, Jeff Scott thanked Riendeau for his work at the Transfer Station, saying the town benefits from his efforts.

The board did not record further operational changes in the excerpt; the update will inform ongoing permit and scheduling discussions for the Transfer Station.
