Rehoboth trash problems 1968



REHOBOTH TRASH PROBLEMS
1968


Friday, January 12, 1968 Rehoboth Commissioners had on their agenda refuse
collection problems since the city, last summer, was told by state officials to curtail
burning at the town dump and told the town to expect stricter regulations on the dump.

The city has been negotiating for property between Lewes and Rehoboth to replace the
dump located near the canal on Delaware 14.

The commissioners have been told that every effort should be made to have the problem
solved before the 1968 summer crowds arrive at the beach.

A representative of the St. Regis Paper Company gave a presentation of a paper refuge sack
system to collect household garbage and trash and told of several communities which require
the use of a large paper sack instead of the metal trash cans for curbside pickups.
