Rehoboth Selectmen Consider Junk Bylaw

The Board of Selectmen may propose a new town bylaw regulating how long residents can leave unwanted items outdoors. “People put things out for free,” Selectmen Chairman Skip Vadnais said Tuesday. “I think that’s a good idea, but it’s not a good idea when it stays there for six weeks.” Vadnais noted items such as furniture get battered by rain and wind from being outside for an extended period of time. Vadnais instructed his fellow board members to ride around town and take note of anything which has become an “eyesore.”
