A tour of the facilities was given to Selectman Redmond as this was only her second time visiting the facility. Discussion was given and ideas for facility changes were swapped. After lengthy discussion, all members agreed at a minimum, the compactor and related electrical system needs to be replaced. Further renovations may come at a future time. The Board members agreed it would be helpful to them to visit the Town of China’s transfer station to get ideas on the compaction system they are using, including the covering over the containers. Melrose stated he will call China Selectman Irene Belanger to make an appointment for the group to tour their facility.
