Town Reminds Residents On Proper Pet Waste Disposal
EASTHAMPTON — Town officials this week issued a reminder on proper pet waste disposal, while the calendar of council meetings and community gatherings continues to fill the final days of July.
TOWN HALL
The Easthampton News Flash on July 27 posted a notice titled "Proper Management of Pet Waste," urging residents to reconsider the idea that pet waste breaks down harmlessly into the environment or serves as natural fertilizer. The post is part of an ongoing town effort to curb waste left in parks and along walking trails, though officials did not announce any new penalties or ordinance changes tied to the reminder.
The town's website also continues to list a broader slate of upcoming municipal meetings, including sessions of the City Council Rules and Government Relations Committee and the City Council Property Committee on July 30, followed by the ECA Coordinating Committee, the 9/11 Tribute Committee, and the Rent Study Committee in the days after.
COMMUNITY & ARTS
A Park Street proposed development community meeting is scheduled for July 29, giving residents a chance to weigh in on plans for that corridor. The town calendar also lists a Technology Help session at the Easthampton Public Library on July 29, with another to follow August 5.
