For the second time in months, someone dumped a truckload of trash at the lower Cardigan Mountain parking area. (Click to see a full-size image.) Once again, the Orange Conservation Commission is coming to the rescue. Come help on the morning of Saturday, October 6. Chairman Scott Lurgio writes:
Clean up supplies like disposable gloves and contractor bags will be provided as we have inventory left over from last year.
We hope to meet at the Orange Town house at 9:30 AM for this event.
This size of the dumping is not overwhelming and we should be able to complete this task in a few hours.
In addition, I will be contacting the State regarding this issue as they did cover the expense for disposing of this waste at the Canaan Transfer station to support last years Clean Up efforts.
The town truck may not be available at the time of this event so we may chose to move the debris to the Town Staging area located near the Orange Basin off the Cardigan Road.
Scott Sandborn may be available to move the debris from the Staging area.
I can provide my truck to transport if needed.
