On June 1st several dedicated volunteers met at the Wilton Recycling Center to tour the facility and discuss ways to improve its appearance and efficiency. Attending were Paul Branscombe, Wilton Town Administrator; Stasia Millett co-organizer; Adam Royds, volunteer; Joe Broyles, general factotum; Sandy Lafleur, co-organizer; Robin Maloney, volunteer; and Janice Pack, Wilton Administrative Assistant.
The group talked about their ideas including:
•
Planting perennials, shrubs and tress
•
Scraping and re-painting the buildings
•
Creating an outdoor washing station
•
New, clearer destination signage
•
Options for discouraging the pigeons that currently foul the bailed paper in the lower tier
•
A new shed for the used goods area
•
Erecting a flagpole and flag
•
Provide paid attendants with a uniform t-shirt
•
Creating a designated smoking area, and a public toilet
With so much to do, we urgently need more volunteers. If you would consider giving your time to helping with any of these tasks (or have other suggestions) please contact Stasia Millet (654-2186 or
[email protected]) or Janice Pack (654-3299 or
e-mail Janice).
Thank you!
