A massive load of garbage was left outside the gates of the Bristol transfer station on July 26, and again on July 29, leaving a mess for workers to clean up.
Employees discovered the trash the following morning when the facility opened.
The transfer station is open from Friday to Monday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The pile that was left on the night of July 26 was much larger than the one left on the 29.
“It was quite a mess,” said Bristol councillor Archie Greer. “It’s about two truckloads I’d say.”
The original debris included everything from a Nestlé freezer, an old desk, an old pickup truck cap as well as other pieces of industrial garbage.
“A lot of it maybe came from a shop or something because there was a lot of grinding wheels and welding rods and stuff like that,” Greer said.
