BCM Represents Claremont Residents in Opposition of Waste Transfer Facility

The proposed waste transfer facility would consist of demolition and construction and receive 150,000 tons of material per year, all being transported by truck through the City of Claremont. Around 70 residents attended the Claremont Zoning Board hearing on Monday, March 2nd to voice their concerns around the proposed facility. Some of these concerns were; road damage caused by roughly 50 trucks transporting material through the city on a daily basis, the potential hazardous material included in these shipments, and a negative impact on the city’s revitalization efforts. Attorney Amy Manzelli authored a letter to the Claremont Zoning Board on behalf of the Claremont residents voicing their collective concerns and identifying possible issues with the application submitted by American Recycling & Disposal. The hearing was concluded at 10:00pm with the board approving a regional impact study be performed to determine the proposed facility’s impact on neighboring communities.
