DUMPSTERS | FROM Page 3 “One of the biggest problems in the city is with dumpsters,” said Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna. “On a windy day … all the things could be coming out of a dumpster.” In addition to there being fences around dumpsters, McKenna said the city needs to enforce the ordinance to make sure the lids are closed on the trash receptacles. “We need to make sure it’s not an open dumpster and the lids are always shut,” she said. “They should be fi ned if they are open. That would limit some of the litter that comes from these dumpsters.” Ward 6 Councillor Richard Serino praised the beautifi cation committee for its eff orts in bringing the issue forward and going around to count every Revere dumpster. “The dumpster issue has kind of been an issue where people are leaving their dumpsters open at apartment complexes and at businesses and restaurants. I won’t name and shame, but I know there is a business on Squire Road that their dumpster is on the sidewalk near the rotary and sometimes people have to walk around it.” Serino also pointed out that there is an apartment complex on North Shore where the dumpster is always open, leaving a steady stream of trash fl owing down the street. “This is a great motion, and like all ordinances we have as a city, we need the enforcement to back it up, otherwise there are no teeth,” said Council President Patrick Keefe.
