Today's riddle: What do you call a one-legged Big Foot? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Crews respond after car falls into sinkhole in Belmont - Boston News, Weather, Sports (whdh.com) — A driver escaped injury after his car's front side dropped into a sinkhole on Holden Road in Belmont during Sunday's nor'easter. Neighbors say this is at least the second serious pipe issue on the street in two months, and DPW crews spent hours patching the break while residents push for a full pipe replacement to prevent future collapses.
• Belmont Prepping To Trash Talk As New Solid Waste/Recycling Contract Going Out To Bid In 2017 (belmontonian.com) — Belmont officials are preparing to seek bids next summer for the town's next solid waste and recycling contract, which will start in 2028 and could reshape curbside services. Residents may see options like expanded yard waste pickup, curbside organics, and lower-emission trash trucks, as the town weighs costs, fuel types, and which large haulers can handle Belmont's four-day collection schedule.
• Garden Gems: Fall Cleanup: Less is More (belmontvoice.org) — A Belmont gardener shares practical fall cleanup tips that keep leaves, stalks, and yard waste working for your own soil instead of being hauled away. She explains how local curbside collection works but urges residents to mulch and leave plant material in place to protect wildlife and improve gardens naturally. Her advice is especially relevant as Belmont yards head into colder weather.
