Public hearing will continue in Bethel on proposed wood recycling facility expansion

A public hearing was continued in Bethel last night by the Planning and Zoning Commission on a proposed wood recycling facility expansion.  The application from All Regional Recyclers of Wood calls for the facility to collect construction debris and other material at its Wooster Street facility from small, local contractors.  Residents continued to be outspoken about the potential for large truck traffic through their neighborhood.  About 28 trucks per day currently enter and exit the site, and the applicant expects about 10 more truck trips per day.  An attorney for the applicant says the facility would not accept household waste and it's not a transfer station.  Opponents say, under state law, it would be permitted to collect tires, furniture, scrap metals and cardboard--not related to construction.
