IF YOU WANT TO KNOW, JUST ASK
By coincidence I read the Letter to the Editor "A Citizen Misses Going To
The Mall, (Transfer Station) before heading to the transfer station myself.
I saw the signs that the swap shop is closed, so I asked one of the
attendants Why? He said they had to close it due to insurance reasons.
While inspecting town buildings etc. recently the Town of Lisbon's new insurance
provider said it had to go. I just spoke with Mr. Wayne Ricker and he
verified that was partly the reason for closing down the Swap Shop. The
other reason was because a lot of the stuff left there was just junk that
no-one wanted and the attendants had to clean up. He said that they would
"look at it again next spring".
So, a word to the wise, if you want the town Swap Shop to continue think carefully
before placing items there.
Is it still usable, or in such bad condition that no-one else could use it?
Timing. Don't just dump leftover yard sale or flea market stuff just before
closing, especially on Saturdays, and/or when rain is expected. Items there
are not under cover and who would want a soggy mess?
Let's not spoil a good thing. Recycling is good for our purses, and for the planet.
