“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Supporters argued that Phillipsburg was an industrial town at heart and that denying one trash hauling company business was hypocritical when the town stores its own hauling trucks in the armory.Riverside Commercial Zone is located east of Union Station bordering the river.LMR Disposal LLC has been operating on South Main Street in Phillipsburg since 2015, first leasing the property. They have since taken over the site, but are not in compliance with town zoning code.Having storage of empty waste containers within the town’s riverside commercial zone would be the first step to having LMR’s site plan up before the Phillipsburg Planning Board.In a March 22 planning board meeting, planning members agreed not to recommend LMR’s request for a redevelopment plan amendment to town council.Board members cited the overall vision of the redevelopment plan along with future housing development near the site.Town engineer Stan Shrek said noise, traffic and pollution concerns would all be handled by the planning board. The actual development has to go through the planning department with a site plan. Stakeholders such as LMR are the sunshine and water for the seed of redevelopment, Council member Frank McVey said.“Businesses come and go. Stakeholders stay,” he said Fire hydrant use affecting water color Phillipsburg’s water supplier said that brown water was likely caused by unauthorized fire hydrant use. Though discolored, the water is safe, said Joseph Mingle of Aqua Water.Contractors or pool service companies tap into fire hydrants on the job, which stirs up mineral sediment in the water main, Mingle said.Mingle recommended that town res...

I arrive in Mount Vernon, New York, to see him at work on his piece Skip 16 (2018), a sculptural installation made from materials found in an industrial dumpster, or “lugger”, as they are known in the US disposal industry. The work is among a series created by the Edinburgh-based artist since 2006, usually on site, wherever he finds an appropriate skip. This time, the sculpture has been transported to Randall’s Island, where it takes up most of Ingleby Gallery’s stand at Frieze New York. To meet Harman last week, I took the 5 train to the end of the line and then walked 25 minutes into Westchester, just north of the Bronx. I passed innumerable auto shops, a massive street-salt pile and Saint Paul’s Church, a national historic site that was used as a British Army hospital during the Revolutionary War. (The church tower’s bell, which still hangs there today, was cast in the same foundry as Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell and was buried by the parishioners to stop the British from melting it down for ammunition.)I eventually found Harman on a side street, standing next to the skip, assessing the cubic sculpture coming together inside. Built from the detritus found in the dumpster—bits of plywood, surprisingly lovely slabs of marble and so much cardboard—the unfinished piece looked as if it would fit next to any Arte Povera work or example of anarc...

The plant would operate continuously, seven days a week, processing up to 215,000 tonnes of non-hazardous municipal, commercial and industrial waste a year.This would be converted into gas to be burned to create steam to drive turbines producing electricity and heat.Shlomo Dowen, the national co-ordinator of the United Kingdom Without Incineration Network, which is supporting campaigners, said there were a "whole range of concerns"."Something in the region of seven to eight million tonnes" of carbon dioxide would be released during the plant's life span, he said.Mr Dowen also claimed there was evidence that incineration of waste harmed recycling rates.Four letters of support for the scheme have been submitted to Sunderland City Council by car manufacturer Nissan, the authority's business investment team and two residents. An online petition has been set up and a paper version with more than 9,000 signatures will be handed in to the council on Wednesday, organisers said.Washington and Sunderland West Labour MP Sharon Hodgson has written to the council objecting to the application. A consultation runs until 24 November. (BBC News)
