New Milford Mayor reminds people to toss masks, gloves in trash

More people are wearing disposable gloves and face masks as the threat of coronavirus pandemic lingers.  But that's also leading to more litter as people dump the personal protective equipment in parking lots or leave them in grocery carts.  Greater Danbury area officials are asking people to toss those items in a trash can, and if one is not readily available, to throw them out at home.  They say litter is one issue, but it's also to protect public works crews and grocery store staff that would otherwise have to put themselves at risk of exposure to clean them up.  New Milford Mayor Pete Bass says he's asked the Police Department to be vigilant and issue the maximum ticket to people who litter these items.  He suggested keeping a trash bag in vehicles to have a safe place to dispose of gloves and masks until you get to a trash can.
