So... What is that stuff and where did it come from?


So What is it? Where did it come from?


 Just a refresher  from Town By-Laws-
Article XXIII – Use of Sanitary Landfill

“For the benefit of the community and in the best interest of the health and welfare of the people of Templeton, the Sanitary Landfill on Route 202, Templeton, shall be used only by residents, commercial business and industries located within the geographical limits of the Town of Templeton. Passed 5-10-1975, Approved by A/G 9-2-75. Not withstanding said limitations, individuals, and/or businesses, upon application and issuance of a waiver by the Templeton Board of Health, may use the Sanitary Landfill for garbage and/or refuse of residents, commercial businesses and industries located within the geographical limits of the Town of Templeton. Excluded shall be the transportation of garbage and refuse from out of town areas to the Templeton Landfill and/or any other properties in the Town of Templeton”.
Amended 9/28/82, Amended 6/18/02, Amended 02/19/04 

So what is this stuff that is dumped at the TDC? Where did it come from?









Could it be a liner for a new dump? Is it from "out-of town"?

Is the stream protected from run-off? Has the town been informed of this dumping? Has a permit been pulled from the BOH?

Stay tuned!

  1. The gray stuff looks a little like cement, but it probably isn't. It does look like it may be from a plant that processes soy or other waste. It should not be in town, especially running toward the wetland area, with no hay bales. I guess the State Agencies still think they can dump on us forever, and they will if we let them. The original by-law written in 1977 to stop outside rubbish and garbage from coming into the Town Of Templeton, was written by Gladys and myself, after The Battle of The Bales. Bev.

  2. So at the end of the Battle of the Bales where did the Bales brought to Hubbardston rd. wind up?
