Town Resolution 2018076
Transfer Station- Rules Amendment; Brush

Whereas, the Town of Pawling operates a Transfer Station for residents who annually purchase a
Permit/ Sticker” to discard certain items as allowed by the rules, and

Whereas, the Local Law that sets such rules allows for amendments from time to time, and

Whereas, the Pawling Transfer Station currently accepts an unlimited amount of brush for
residents with Transfer Station permits, and

Whereas, the Transfer Station Manager has recognized that the` Brush Pile” within the Transfer
Station has grown in quantity and sheer size of the debris has become unmanageable, and

Whereas, the Town Board in discussions with the Transfer Station Manager has determined that
a change is needed to the rules concerning the acceptance of Brush, and

Whereas, the current rules allow for the acceptance of an unlimited amount of brush which is
extremely cost prohibitive and problematic for the Transfer Station, therefore be it
Resolved, that starting January l, 2019, brush will be restricted to 4 inches in diameter by 10 feet
in length and stumps are not accepted at the Transfer Station, and be it further
Resolved, that no contractors will be allowed to dump brush at the Transfer Station even if they
are working for a resident that has a valid and current ” Permit/ Sticker”.
