Bowmanstown Borough council recently held discussion on the East Penn property dump.

The property is located off Route 895, and consists of 40 acres total, 3 of which is the actual dumping grounds.

Councilman Rob Moyer said he believes now isn’t the time to sell.

“I would suggest we hold onto it,” Moyer said. “Right now, it’s real property.”

No action was taken on the matter.

After the meeting, Tara Takerer, treasurer/assistant secretary, said that before the 1970s, it used to be the residential dump, as the borough used to collect the garbage.

She said the dump has been closed, and the 3 acres is the dump ground, while the remainder of the property is all trees, forest, and believes a stream runs through.

Takerer said the potential sale of the property had previously been discussed by council, but nothing ever stemmed from it.
