Several businesses in the Old San Carlos Boulevard area have decide to obtain a garbage compactor, allowing them to do away with five or six dumpsters that have been sitting open in parking lots. The move is the latest in Tidelines' efforts to bring dumpsters into compliance with town laws requiring them to be hidden from view of neighbors and the street. Town Manager Scott Janke said he was informed of the decision to replace the dumpsters with a compactor during discussions with the owner of the Lighthouse Resort, whose dumpsters are sitting in the town's parking lot on Third Street under the bridge. Janke said the move is a response to Tidelines' February investigation of illegal dumpsters on the island."You got their attention," Janke said. He said he isn't sure when the new compactor will arrive but he said he will make sure that it is shielded from view of the neighbors and from the street, as the law requires.
