(New Brighton, PA) It was a trash night in New Brighton. Folks showed up in droves to the former Family Dollar store after crews emptied remaining store inventory into dumpsters. Locals could be seen walking away with full bags of thrown away merchandise, and some were making multiple trips. One man told Beaver County Radio, “I won’t need to buy diapers for a while”, a woman said “most of the good stuff is already gone”. A worker at the site said “people are just taking **** (stuff)”. Police showed up at the scene at one point to make sure things didn’t get out of hand. Trucks began removing the dumpsters around 8:20pm. The location closed last year due to issues with water leaks.
