Solid Waste/Recycle
The Town is in the process of negotiating a change in companies for curbside pickup of household trash. Our current contractor has been struggling to maintain service as many of you are well aware. Apologies for the lack of information and confusion. The plan is to have service in place for next week. May take some time for a new company to fully learn the route.
