The Town will start collecting garbage boxes not removed from the front of property lines on June 12.
Automated Garbage Collection uses Town-supplied wheeled carts and garbage boxes are no longer needed as part of the waste collection. Garbage boxes left at the end of driveways and near the road create problems for the automated garbage collection.
You can keep your garbage box as long as it's not at the front of your property. You can re-purpose your garbage box; some uses include:
- Sort bottles that are to be taken to the recycling depot
- Store outdoor garden supplies or toys, or;
- Convert them to rain barrels to collect water for gardens or compost bins.
If you don't want to re-purpose your garbage box, we'll collect it for you. Garbage boxes not removed from in front of property building lines will be considered left for disposal and the Town will collect them.
The deadline for having boxes removed from the front of property lines was December 30, 2016.
