This from the Town of Canaan:
“With the Covid 19 protection system, the line gets too long if people are unloading trucks and trailers. People have had to wait 15 minutes for 1 truck to unload. People with large loads have been diverted to the lower compacter, but this is increasing our costs by more than $10,000 a year and is no longer acceptable.”
Canaan says that trucks with trash over the truck body sidewalls (not wooden side boards), along with people hauling trash in trailers, will not be allowed to unload during regular drop-off times. A special time has been set aside for these loads: 10-12 on Sundays. Canaan is charging $10 for these big loads; bring cash or check. Regular loads will not be permitted on Sundays.
Apparently, some people have been violating the Covid rules: no more than two cars side-by-side in front of the hopper, and no skipping the line past the hopper if you just have recycling. The town is threatening to have police cite violators.
