Are you kidding me. I cannot believe that the residents from a local town think the dump is the place to hang out. Hollis is a fairly "rich" area. Now if this was published in my hometown paper I would believe it.
No More Hanging Out At The Town Dump
(AP) HOLLIS The operators of the transfer station in Hollis, New Hampshire want residents to find another place to hang out. The town's board of selectman adopted an ordinance this week limiting trips to the transfer station to one 30-minute visit per day. It also banned rummaging in the town's scrap metal pile. Selectmen say the new rules prevent accidents and allow transfer station employees to work with fewer people milling around. They'd also like the town to retain more of its scrap metal, which it sells to a recycling company. Residents say the transfer station is a social outlet for many, and the metal scrap pile allows people to reuse things, which is good for the environment. But board member Mark Johnson says the transfer station is not a social center and safety is his biggest concern.
