The Board of Selectmen voted to form a Trash Committee during its meeting on Tuesday, July 24.

"We have a town-wide problem, as exemplified by the fact that we have to have litter mobs going out consistently volunteering to pick up trash," said Selectman Peter Teitelbaum after the meeting.

"We need to solicit different viewpoints on how to attack the problem," he added.

The Board voted that the committee should be made up of one member of Municipal Maintenance, one member of the Police Department, one member of the Board of Selectmen, one member of the School Committee, the Harbormaster or his designee, and two citizens at large.
