Watson Twp. recycling bins used as a dumping ground

The Watson Township Hall has recycing bins on its parking lot, but some area residents have been using it inappropriately to dump trash. Shown here are several old mattresses and even an old toilet. Former Township Clerk Kathy Pardee told the Township Board Thursday evening the perpetrators should be cited under the local blight ordinance, but she was told Professional Code Inspections prefers to give warnings first. “It’s an ongoing problem and each year it gets worse,” she commented. Township Supervisor Pam Brown said at least one of the culprits is known to be from Dorr Township.
