DUMFRIES, Va. — Is there something stinky in Dumfries? If you ask some members of the Town Council, it’s the trash service.
During a public meeting Tuesday, members of the Council complained about broken trash cans, shared frustrations of residents who didn’t know where to go to obtain one, and said some trash is left in cans or blown about the streets after the trash truck drives away.
