Reconstruction of Adams Road to begin this summer. The project on Adams Road will cost $147,000 which is all of the Chapter 90 money plus $8,000 from the road improvement fund. The highway department was planning on using Chapter 90 money to buy an excavator, but this money will be consumed by the cost of the Adams Road project. The town will have to rent an excavator for the work. Ray will do ditch work and whatever else he can do to prepare the road and then hire out the remainder of the work on Adams Road.


2005 PAINT COLLECTIONS
Northern Berkshire Solid Waste Management is again offering a paint disposal and recycling program. The district has covered the cost of paint disposal in the past but due to increased cost they needed to pass on the costs to residents. It will cost $4 a gallon to dispose
(recycle) paint. Centers recycling paint are:

Williamstown Transfer Station: July 16, August 20, September 17 and October 22
Cheshire Shed: July 9, August 13, September 10 and October 15

Coupons in $2, $10 or $20 denominations can be purchased from transfer station attendants or at the paint sheds on collection days.
These collections are for PAINT ONLY. "Paint" can be latex, oil-based, alkyd, stains or polyurethane. Hazardous waste will NOT be accepted at this time. That collection will be held in early November.
