Trash pickup has always been one of the town's problem area as it is in any town. From when Delmar had a trash dump over at brickhole west of Delmar - to when they would pick up trash twice a week and once a month you could throw out anything you wanted to in order to get rid of it, - to buying trash trucks,- to employing about eight people (including work release prisoners) to ride the trash truck to pickup the trash,- to the on going war with the Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DSWA), - to DSWA examining the Delmar trash to make sure Delmar Maryland trash was not included in it, - to DSWA performing vehicle inspections on the Delmar trash truck,- to a contractor taking over trash pickup and acting as a buffer between the town and DSWA, - to finally today when no one wants to pickup trash and spring clean up day has a ton of restrictions and is kept secret as to when it is to occur. Wow talking trash today
