Garbage and Recycle Information

Garbage collection is on Wednesday each week and can be very early in the morning. Please place your can by the road the night before. If it is a Holiday week, check the website for possible changes. Placement of your can is very important. Make sure your handle faces away from the road and that the lid closes. You should not have your can close to a light pole, mailbox, or vehicle. The garbage truck is large and has arms that have to pick the cans up to dump them. If the driver cannot get to the can safely, he will not attempt to empty the can. 

If you forget to put your can out the night before and miss pick up, you will have to wait until the following week to have your can serviced. GFL will not be able to come back to empty your can after they have already serviced your area. There are no stickers required for the landfill, so you can utilize their services if you cannot wait until the following week for pick up.

Large items that will not fit in the garbage can, with the lid closed, such as a chair or nightstand, may be left near the garbage can for the Town's public works department to pick up. These items are collected on Wednesdays.

If you continuously have excess household garbage that will not fit in the can, with the lid closed, you may be required to set an additional can. This will incur an additional cost per month.

RECYCLE

Recycle is on the 4th Thursday of each month. This is not necessarily the last Thursday, so be sure to check the calendar. If the 4th Thursday falls on a Holiday week, check the website for possible date changes.

Please make sure recycle materials are in the proper container and not a regular garbage can. To ensure pick up, make sure your handle faces away from the road and do not place the container next to a tree, mailbox, or vehicle.
