Trash & Recycling Collection
The Town contracts with GFL for rubbish and recycling collection services. They would like to remind customers of current policies:
~ Garbage and recycling carts should have at least 5 feet of separation between containers, allowing easier pick up of garbage carts.
~ Carts should be set out early morning of the assigned pick up date.
~ Carts must be removed from Town ROW within 24 hours of garbage or recycling pickup.
~ All garbage should be properly bagged.
~ GFL collects with two separate trucks, one for garbage and another for recyclables.
~ Recyclables: please use the blue-lidded recycling cart to its fullest potential.
~ Do not recycle plastic grocery bags or place recyclables in plastic bags. Doing so jambs the recycling machines and greatly reduces the efficiency of the recycling process.
When a holiday occurs, all curbside pickup is delayed one day, the garbage/recycling delay will occur after: New Years, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
