Starting July, you can visit the dump 7 days a week

To a smattering of applause at Town Meeting (such outbursts are generally frowned upon at the staid, all-business forum) Town Meeting members voted earlier this spring to approve Sunday hours to start July 10 running through around the end of November, 11am – 3pm. The money to do so comes from savings in the DPW budget. The DPW has always supported the idea of Sunday hours, noting that it’s what the people of Wellesley want. As recently retired RDF Superintendent Gordon Martin used to say, “There’s no doubt in my mind that if we were open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, residents would come in all throughout the day and night.”
