TRASH & RECYCLING
Waste Management TOTER Information and Delivery / Recycling Information Flyer # 2
Waste Management TOTER Informational Flyer # 1
The TOTER system was implemented on July 1, 2008. Each household receives one 64 gallon cart in which all of your trash must be placed.
The week of July 1 you will need to begin using the cart. TRASH LEFT IN ANY OTHER CONTAINER OR BAG WILL NOT BE COLLECTED.
If you need an additional recycling bin, please come by the Town Hall during open hours to pick one up. You can also use a plastic tote, laundry bin, or other container for recyclables.
All items should be bagged inside the cart to avoid blowing and spreading trash.
One of the goals of the cart system is to encourage more recycling, so pick up another copy of the recycling information, download it form the website, or call the Selectmen’s Office and we will mail you one.
As of July 1, the Wednesday collection route HAS CHANGED TO FRIDAY.
We do anticipate that there will be some time during the transition when questions will come up, and encourage you to call the Customer Service center at Waste Management at 800 847 5303 for any questions.
Please watch your mail carefully for information from Waste Management, and check this site for updates.
Thank you very much for your patience and cooperation as we work through these changes.
