Few issues can cause as much tension within a town as the accumulation of items in someone's yard. To some it's junk, to others it's valuable possessions. And to the state, it could be considered a salvage yard.
We discuss the differences between junk and salvage, how a municipality can craft ordinances or bylaws to address these issues and the motivation behind the gathering of this stuff.
We hear from Vermont League of Cities and Towns Director of Public Policy and Advocacy Karen Horn, Agency of Natural Resources Environmental Program Manager Marc Roy, Highgate Town and Zoning Administrator Heidi Britch-Valenta and Middlebury Police Chief Tom Hanley.
