THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 1, 2025 Page 9 TRASH | FROM PAGE 1 Malden Mayor Gary Christenson said earlier this week he and his team have been working in concert with other city officials as well as Malden City Councillors to continue to address this unprecedented logistical and health emergency. "We have steered as many municipal resources, including personnel to meet the needs and concerns of our residents as possible since the very first day of this emergency," Mayor Christenson said, "and we will continue to do so until we get a satisfactory resolution of this major situation." The Mayor encouraged residents to continue to check the daily update available on the city website, www.cityofmalden. org which details the schedules and resources available regarding trash and recycling waste removal. For example, Wednesday's message reported that the Republic trucks were indeed picking up regular trash on the regular Wednesday pickup route, for one of the first instances since the strike began, on July 1.

Essex County Superior Court Judge Kathleen McCarthy-Neyman on Monday denied a request for an injunction filed by Malden, Gloucester, Beverly, Peabody, Danvers and Canton. According to reports, Judge McCarthy-Neyman wrote it is beyond the court's power to resolve the labor dispute and that "any order issued in response to the request would be too vague to be enforceable."

Other projects have followed, primarily murals in the Cafeterias and other MHS first-floor walls with each year’s group of budding artists contributing to new and innovative artistic contributions. The student artists, who work nearly exclusively in water-soluble, acrylic paint, are under the direction of MYSEP supervisor Emily Gonzalez, who will be beginning her fifth year as an Art Teacher at the Salemwood K-8 School this fall. Gonzalez said she has been impressed each year with the effort and commitment her youth work groups have shown through the years. She noted that many of the teens who participate in the art-related work had little to no experience in any type removing Thursday and Friday recycling waste on Wednesday. Because the "regular" household trash is now being picked up by trucks on the sidewalk at a near normal rate, there is now a pause on dropping off that type of trash at the Malden DPW city yards. Recycling waste can still be dropped off at the following locations and times: Recycling Drop-Off – DPW Yard (356 Commercial St.) Mondays & Wednesdays: 3PM – 8PM **** Recycling Drop-Off – Ferryway School (150 Cross St.) Monday, Wednesday, Friday 8AM to 2PM Saturdays: 7AM – 3PM got it right," Republic Services said in a statement. "We again call for an end to Teamsters Local 25's continued unlawful conduct, including the repeated blocking of our trucks out on the road and at service stops, which is causing service delays for our customers. We will continue to work with all communities impacted by Teamsters Local 25." Also on Monday, nine Massachusetts members of the U.S. House of Representatives, including U.S. Rep. Clark,joined in a letter urging the company to "return to the bargaining table in good faith." “Every community deserves high-quality municipal services, including waste management, but not at the expense of a competitive wage and comprehensive benefits, especially affordable accessible healthcare coverage, that supports your workers, their families, and the communities they serve and contribute to on and off the clock,” the lawmakers wrote in the letter. of artistic endeavor. “We are assigned students, a lot of them who had not requested this type of work, or any art-related work at all,” Gonzalez said, “and we teach them, we work with them. It is inspiring how they can learn a new skill and produce such beautiful art.” Malden Mayor Gary Christenson and Malden High School Principal Chris Mastrangelo have both had high praise for the young residents’ artwork and contributions to the positive looks for the school. “I never cease to be amazed at what the youth of Malden can create when afforded the opportunity,” the mayor added. “I am so impressed by this project. It is a great contribution to our high school and community.” MHS Principal Mastrangelo said the artistic murals have been great additions to MHS. “Our students and staff really appreciate what these artists are contributing,” Mastrangelo said. “They have transformed our cafeterias into warmer, more welcoming gathering spots with this artwork.” The latest addition to the “MHS Collection” is a mural on the west wall of Cafeteria “A” featuring the school mascot, the NEDLAM lion, ascending a colorful staircase, under a colorful rainbow. Already, following the completion of that extensive 15-foot mural, the artists are working on several mini-murals around the cafeteria that they intend to complete before the end of the summer program in mid-August. Gonzalez said the youth workers take a lot of pride in their projects, noting that the finished product is a tangible one. “Their work here will live on; they really feel they have made a valuable contribution. That is a life skill learned through the MYSEP program and that is always our primary goal.” 425r Broadway, Saugus Located adjacent to Kohls Plaza Route 1 South in Saugus at the intersection of Walnut Street We are on MBTA Bus Route 429 781-231-1111 We are a Skating Rink with Bowling Alleys, Arcade and two TV’s where the ball games are always on!
