The Turf Demonstration Project is well under way and before and after photos can be viewed at their websiteOrganic Turf Project Mike and Felicia Motherway were able to renew this grant of $4999 from the NH Dept of Agriculture, Markets & Food to continue the work of improving the soil around town hall and across the street.
The NH Dept of Agriculture site also provides additional informationDept. of Agriculture
Adopt an Organic Field Project Mike and Felicia Motherway were able to obtain a grant of $4983 from the NH Dept of Agriculture, Markets & Food to establish a turf related IPM program on the Town of Kensington's althletic fields.
Some interesting articles providing information regarding the organic process and the overall benefits to communities willing to embracing the concept are as follows. The intent is to provide information only:
Harvard Facilities Maintenance Website
and a link to the CDC's arboviral information site CDC link

RECYCLING
1st and 3rd Tuesdays of every month - Cardboard/paper only.
2nd and 4th Tuesdays of every month - Comingle only (cans, bottles, plastics can be mixed in the same container). (No 55 gal. container trash barrels)
Just a friendly reminder to please remove the caps from bottles/plastic containers you recycle. With the caps off the bottles will compress which allows room for more, thus saving an extra truck trip to the recycling facility. Thank you - your efforts will be very much appreciated!
There is NO recycling on the 5th Tuesdays
Please Note - Trash Sticker Increase:
Trash sticker cost has increased to $2.00 per sticker by order of the Board of Selectmen, effective March 10, 2009 and can be purchased either at the town hall or the library. This is necessary in order to cover the disposal costs for recycling for the coming year which were not known at the time the budget was finalized. The Selectmen ask that you recycle as much as possible, however, since the costs to dispose of recyclable material is significantly less than trash. Decreasing trash tonnage at $66.42/ton will allow those funds to be applied to the recycling costs, which at the moment are running $20/ton for paper and $35/ton for recycling. Additionally, B & S Disposal has been asked to not pick up any trash not complying with the 32 gal. per sticker rule.Rubbish pick up will remain the same – every Tuesday all items must be curbside by 6:30 am. Waste must be contained in plastic bags or trash barrels not to exceed a capacity of 32 gals and/or a weight not to exceed 50 pounds. Each 32 gallon container/bag must have a Kensington trash sticker affixed to it. For barrels, stickers need to be affixed to the top item not to the barrel. Items exceeding the size or weight limits, missing stickers, or otherwise not complying, will not be picked up. Please contact the Selectmen if you have any questions.
Residents may dispose (best to call first) of bulky items at the Raymond Transfer Station. Disposal of these bulk items will require a payment of fees. Please click on the link to view items that can be accepted for disposal as well as the fee required. If you have any questions regarding disposal or rates, call Bestway Disposal at 895-6273, M thru Sat 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Directions - take Route 107N to Raymond. You'll go through the Fremont town center and a few miles beyond that, there will be a ball field on your left. To the right will be Prescott Rd. Take that right and continue to the transfer station.

BOARD AGENDAS

Citizen's forum is an opportunity for residents to voice concerns regarding a sudden urgent matter (in other words the situation arose after posting time for the current meeting and it can't wait until the next Selectmen's meeting). The information is taken under advisement by the Board but official decisions are not usually made at that time.
