"I do get complaints," Chairman David Rhoads said at last week's Board of Health meeting. "I understand a large part of this is protecting those enterprises that go by the book. I think that is really important for us."
Code Enforcement Officer Mark Blaisdell said he has received numerous complaints about unpermitted haulers picking up trash and scrap in town.
Without a proper regulation on the books, he said, there is little the town can do. He said if he observes an infraction he can approach the hauler. He said the police can also be notified.
Blaisdell suggested creating a new regulation that would allow the town to fine residents who use unpermitted haulers.
