“Upon some complaints, we took it upon ourselves to buy some ‘no idling’ signs . for the Transfer Station, which we will put up soon because of our staff being stuck there and having to breathe that in,” said Fran Fortino, chair of the Board of Health. “It’s also a state law, by the way.”
Massachusetts law prohibits vehicles from idling for more than five minutes.
