I meant that you don’t smell that compost very much on-site, the smell is most acute across the river at big y. Still smells there for sure

The plant isn’t whimsical per se but instead of odor control units they replaced a conveyer belt with a screw conveyer and dump truck system for dewatered sludge. So now instead of replacing bearings and fixing the damn belt every few weeks, they have to empty this dump truck every 2 hours while running the centrifuge. Seems like there could have been a better upgrade but Southbridge went with the absolute cheapest contract bidder like usual.

The funny part is the sewer plant doesn’t smell any worse than any other sewer plant in the world. All that nasty compost smell gets blown over to big y!

Out of sight out of mind right. You’d think that awful stink would get people talking about funding but no.

It’s the compost operations. There’s absolutely zero odor control in the mostly open compost building. I worked there for a year, and I’m very close with the 2 guys that run the place. They get very little funding from the town for improvement projects, and when they do they’re kind of whimsical projects at best.

Agreed. I’ve been looking for a job in worcester for 5 years, and the only way I can one is if I take a huge pay cut.

This is exactly the issue. We have all these biotech companies (not as much as Boston) in worcester and the surrounding towns, but they either aren’t hiring ever, or they hire for crap pay and benefits. I don’t see it changing much for engineers and scientists. Nurses though, make a killing

Those are some good points. Tbh I had no idea about the new bins until I got one delivered to the house. Thought it was a little silly but hey that’s why the city wants so I went with the flow. At least until collections started breaking the bins.
Bags are actually a good idea, I had never though of it. I guess we’ll see what doesn’t happen
Educational-List8475 t1_j8ko284 wrote
They’re definitely cutting them or breaking them off in some other way. My lid also became magically separated after putting it out twice. The collection crews also love throwing the bins as hard as possible at the ground, because I came home a few weeks ago and a huge chunk was broken off the container, which is the same shit they did with the other style bins. The whole new recycling bin program was a complete waste of time and money. A better investment would probably have been making sure collection crews aren’t spilling the contents all over the road (which I’ve seen them do). Anyway I’m back to using the original style

Imo Worcester generally sucks at snow removal, especially off of the main roads. You find a way to manage though

Reply to comment by NativeSon508 in Proposed zoning change would allow 'in-law' rentals to help housing crisis, homeowners by moisheah
I think this is a fair point. With how much my assessed property value increased recently (which raised my taxes like 25%), I think the city officials would use ADU’s as an excuse to increase assessed values or even the tax rate. But we do need more places for people to live

Well you call it an unenforced law. What your comment says is the law was written, and thereby meant, to inconvenience honest citizens. It’s not written specifically to inconvenience you by the way.

I’m gonna say for your affordability and nature you should opt for western ma. It’s cheaper COL on that side of the state. Amherst and Northampton are cool spots too. I live in worcester, I’d recommend it but doesn’t seem to be on your list

This sounds like predator poacher, the guy that goes around MA trying to catch child predators. Except he never calls the cops or anything, he just harasses them on camera. He should be more careful when accusing people of shit

You could look at something in the Attleboro area. Idk about night life and all that but it’s close enough to raynham and providence that you could make those trips easily enough. There’s also a commuter rail to Boston

Reply to What is the deal with blinding LED headlights and the drivers who won't turn them down for approaching cars? by funkygrrl
I don’t think those super bright white LED headlights are even the high beams. I only say this because I was driving to work one morning, around 5:30, and a truck with the super brights was blinding me so I flashed my highs at them….and they proceeded to flash their actual highs at me, which was like looking into the sun. I think what you’re looking at is their standard headlight now
