LOOKING FOR INPUT - Household Hazardous Waste

The Department of Public of Works and the Board of Health are working to re-establish Household Hazardous Waste Days for Hull residents, whether it be an event in town or at a neighboring town.

What we need is an idea of how many people and how much waste will be taken in if we hold one of these events (we pay based on the volume: whether it be by weight or by gallon, like for paint or other liquids).

Please respond to this post if you are interested in taking part in a Household Hazardous Waste Day, we need to know:
          1)   How many residents are interested in participating
          2)   How many residents will be disposing of paint  or other liquids
                (along with an estimate of how many gallons)
          3)   What other types of waste will be disposed of and what volume
                 (CLICK HERE to learn more about what can be disposed of)
                               
We are very intent on making these events a reality in Town again but need to make sure that it can be funded and that everyone gets the chance to participate in it. If things work out, we may begin them as part of the ongoing South Shore Recycling Cooperative program that still has three collection days remaining in the Spring calendar. Worst case scenario, we would begin our collection days this coming Fall.

Please be patient as we work through all of the requirements of implementing a program like this...

Kenberma Playground update

Kenberma Playground Update

The Department of Public Works continues its efforts to finish the playground area, today we added an access ramp at the entrance of the walkway for easier and appropriate access to the playground.

Please stay off the new asphalt until at least this afternoon so that it may cure properly.

Also, there has been some vandalism to the area recently, sprinkler heads have been kicked off, the seat on the brand new picnic table was broken, some hydroseed was damaged... If you see anyone doing any damage to the park, the equipment or the playground, please notify the Hull Police so that we can stop these actions and continue to provide a fun, safe and enjoyable place for the kids to gather...

Thank you...

Household Hazardous Waste Days Are Coming!

Household Hazardous Waste Days Are Coming!

The Hull Department of Public Works is pleased to announce that the Town of Hull is the newest member of the South Shore Recycling Cooperative. 

The SSRC is a regional entity consisting of 15 local communities that focuses on advocating for funding, sensible laws and regulations that accomplish the goal of minimizing waste and cost, and maximizing recovery at the municipal level.

As a member community of the SSRC, residents of the Town of Hull will be eligible to attend Household Hazardous Waste Days in neighboring communities. We are hoping to hold our own HHWD in the near future.

Watch for updates from the Town and check out the SSRC website for more information about the Cooperative:

Street Sweeper Schedule

The Town of Hull Department of Public Works is pleased to announce that it has begun its annual street sweeping program. Because of the larger than normal volume of sand on the roads, the sweeper has been concentrating on main roads and environmentally sensitive areas as well as areas impacted by recent storm related high tide events.

Once these areas have been completed, the sweeper will be focusing on neighborhood areas and secondary roads. This year, sweeping will begin at West Corner and work toward the Pemberton / Hull Gut area of Town.

We will sweep all streets, please be patient if the schedule is modified.

 

Tentative Schedule (may have to be modified due to weather or other unforeseen issues): 

Week of April 24-28: West Corner / Atlantic Ave neighborhood

Week of May 1-5: Rockaway section to Bay Street neighborhood

Week of May 8-12: Sunset Point area to Kenberma

Week of May 15-19: Kenberma section to A Street

Week of May 22-26:A Street to XYZ Streets

Week of May  29 - June 2:Allerton Hill

Week of June 5-9: Village neighborhoods

Please Help Protect Our Playgrounds

The Town of Hull and the Public Works Department have spent a great deal of money, time and effort to upgrade the Kenberma Playground over the past several months.

We installed two new benches so parents can watch over their children playing and a new picnic table so families can enjoy eating or just hanging out at. The park area will be loamed and seeded soon and yesterday, we had the new walkway poured.

PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE RESPECTS THE PLAYGROUND.
Last night, there were kids throwing boulders and rocks onto the newly poured cement walkway, the new picnic table seat was broken by kids jumping on it and several sprinkler heads were destroyed.

If you see anyone doing damage, please report the activity to the Hull Police so the local kids will continue to have a nice place to play and have fun at.
