Aldermen will pick up trash discussion in the New Year
NEWTON
The board of aldermen has delayed discussion of whether Newton will switch to an automated trash collection system until its Jan. 7 meeting. The board's Public Facilities Committee recommended the proposal, but its Finance Committee rejected it.
The proposed system would provide each household with a 64-gallon trash container that would be collected each week by a truck with a single driver and automated arm. Currently, there is no limit on the amount of trash residents can dispose of each week, and two employees are required to collect it.
