Rudd points to uncovered trash, but official rejects premise
This picture of a truck at the city’s waste transfer station on Grotto Avenue has council members calling for better controls, but a representative for Mayor Donald Grebien says the picture represents the loading of the truck mid-process.
PAWTUCKET – Some council members are saying a picture is worth a thousand words when it comes to the way trash is handled at the city’s waste transfer station, while members of Mayor Donald Grebien’s administration say that out-of-context looks can be very deceiving.
Councilor Tim Rudd, during the April 7 City Council meeting, passed along pictures from a resident depicting a truck he noted was seen filled to overflowing with trash at the waste transfer station on Grotto Avenue.
