Trash Schedule May 28-June 2, 2007
Residents are advised that trash pickup will follow the holiday schedule for the upcoming Memorial Day Holiday, Monday, May 28, 2007. Trash pickup will be delayed by one day, with no pickup on Monday. Residents with normal Monday pickup will be picked up on Tuesday. Tuesday pickup will be on Wednesday, and so on through the week. Friday pickup will be on Saturday, June 2nd. Recycling pickup will follow the same schedule as the trash. This will be a commingled containers recycling week.
A new postcard with a calendar for the holiday and recycling schedules and other information regarding waste reduction has been developed and is expected to be mailed to every resident sometime in mid-June. The postcard and postage were made available to the town free of charge with a grant from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection.
Residents are reminded to put their trash and recyclables out no later than 7:00 a.m. and to leave them out until picked up, or 6:00 p.m. In the event that trash has not been picked up by 6:00 p.m. due to poor weather, etc., residents should leave or put their trash out for pickup the next day by 7:00 a.m. Residents that have questions about their pickup should call Central Mass Disposal at 1-800-352-3255, or the Board of Selectmen’s Office at 525-5400 extension 420.
