The director of Tub’s Parks and Recreation Division says the piles of meals have been popping up all around the metropolis for over a 12 months.
BATH, Maine — Tub metropolis leaders are looking for out who’s dumping meals waste all around the metropolis.
The piles are turning up in numerous locations, together with on the Oak Grove Cemetery.
“It actually takes us a very long time and is disrespectful to the cemetery,” Tub Parks and Recreation director Steven Balboni stated. “My message is, simply cease.”
The piles of meals consisted largely of tomatoes and onions, till a brand new pile was discovered on Monday with strawberries, bananas, lettuce and bell peppers.
“The employees will come right here, shovel every part, take it and ship it to the compost,” Balboni defined.
What puzzles Balboni is the truth that a free composting website is lower than 1 / 4 mile from the cemetery.
“Town presents a few compound kiosks the place individuals can deposit this waste into bins and that is the absolute best methodology of taking good care of any natural or compostable materials,” Tub Metropolis Supervisor Marc Meyers stated.
Balboni advised the Maine NEWS CENTER that they do not know who’s dumping the piles of meals waste, however they’ve been doing so for over a 12 months.
When you have particulars of who’s doing this, you might be requested to contact the Metropolis of Tub.
