After a massive fire destroyed a total of four buildings a week ago in Orange, Massachusetts, some who live in town have been left with debris on their property.
Requests for pick-up should include details including the name, address, location of the debris on the property and phone number, town officials said.
Town officials worked with the Department of Environmental Protection to have a contractor pick up debris from people's yards that haven't yet been cleaned. The DEP was on site Friday to conduct chemical tests after the old cereal factory burned down Saturday, since the building on West River Street was known to contain asbestos, town officials said. They determined that some of the debris was, in fact, contaminated with asbestos, though the more predominant foam-like insulation material found in the debris does not contain asbestos.
