Mass. Town Considers Accepting Non-Resident C&D Debris

The selectmen of Harwich, Mass., are considering a proposal to provide construction and demolition material disposal to contractors from other communities as a way to raise revenues in the town, according to a report in the Cape Cod Chronicle (Cape Cod, Mass.).

Lincoln Hooper, director of the division of highways and maintenance, proposed the plan to accept C&D debris regardless of origin at the town’s disposal facility as one way to increase revenue. Another proposal being considered is allowing non-resident disposal stickers at the transfer station at an additional charge, according to the report.

Hooper tells the Cape Cod Chronicle that there has been interest from non-residents in using the Harwich facility.
