WHELAN: Transfer Station Still Under Review

Letter from Mary Anne Whelan Transfer Station Still Under Review I want to pass on that I did, after my last letter, hear from the regional director of the “transfer station.” Also, that she lives in Oneonta and has in fact previously visited it.

LETTER from M.A. WHELAN With Crisis, We See World, And Dump, With Fresh Eyes To the Editor: Given our current situation, I find even a trip to the Northern Transfer Station – aka The Dump – an exciting occasion. I have looked at it with fresh eyes. And it’s not a pretty sight. OK, I know it’s a dump, but there are dumps and then there are dumps. This one is really awful. Fetid piles of trash, papers blowing everywhere,…
