A discussion on the next <br /> step toward achieving the goal of reduced trash/costs should occur.

Curbside collection could be through the Easton <br /> model.where the Town identifies a preferred hauler, but each individual homeowner <br /> contracts for service and pays the cost. with both curbside collection and PAYT, the cost <br /> per household will exceed the current permit fee. <br /> The Committee will meet again after the Selectmen's meting. <br /> The meeting adjourned at 5:15 p.m.. <br /> Respectively submitted, <br /> Catherine Laur <br />
