PERTH AMBOY — Councilwoman Lisa Nanton and local resident and businessman Tommy Hudanish were in agreement at the 7/10/13 Council Meeting. Part of the problem with illegal dumping could be the limited hours and days to schedule an appointment with Public Works.

Hudanish said, “It is mostly City residents doing illegal dumping. There are a lot of people moving in and out of town. We are trying to raise revenue with small fees. There is an inaccessibility to schedule appointments. We have as much garbage as Woodbridge Township. Garbage ordinances are not being enforced.”

He also told the Council, “You did a wonderful thing for Perth Amboy about passing the resolution. (Honorary renaming of the Raritan Bay Mental Health Center in name of George Otlowski, Sr.”

Nanton said, “The limited time for scheduled rubbish pickups is what is causing the dumping problem – not the fees. Public works and code enforcement maintained what our City looks like. That’s why employee evaluations are important.”
