Newton's Transfer Station Held A Free Weekend

On August 23 & 24th of 2008, Newton Conservation Commission and Transfer Station Employees had a very busy weekend. In an effort to fight Triple EEE and West Nile Virus in Newton, New Hampshire the Newton Transfer Station manger (Andy Morse) and the employees, Bill, Tom, Theresa and Scott worked side by side with Trisha McCarthy, (Newton Selectmen) and Pat Wonson, (Newton Conservation Commission) and allowed Newton residents to bring in tires and bulk items at no charge. Over 1500 tires were collected in two days. This co-ordinated effort has been a huge success and was as a result of Trisha McCarthy and Andy Morse. The townspeople were extremely grateful that the selectmen allowed this event to take place.
