  • Garbage Guidelines

  • For the Town to collect your garbage
    • it must be put out at the Town curb;
    • it must be put out the night before your collection day, before midnight (recycling must also go out the night before);
    • it must be put out in bags or in garbage cans with handles. Cans must be no larger than 50 gallons (regulation size) no toters with hinged lids attached
    • it may contain up to three plastic bags (but no more) of yard waste (other than leaves or grass);
    • it may contain your regular kitchen-wastebasket-type weekly garbage, but not major clean-outs;
    • it must not contain leaves (collected separately);
    • it must not contain grass clippings (leave them on your lawn);
    • it must not have any recyclables in it (see below);
    • it must not weigh more than 50 pounds per container;
    • it must not contain construction or demolition material;
    • it must not contain large items such as stuffed furniture; and
    • it must not contain metal items such as appliances or bicycles, or other things that won’t burn.
    Please…Compost whatever you can at home and leave grass clippings on the lawn.

  • Recycling Guidelines

  • The containers that go loose into the blue recycling bin are:
    • glass bottles & jars – clear, green, and brown;
    • metal cans – aluminum or steel (“tin”);
    • aluminum foil & foil pie plates;
    • plastics, clear and colored, milk, water, detergent
    and bottom says #1 – #7
    • milk cartons, juice cartons, and juice boxes.
    • No plastic bags

    Separate your paper products (newspapers, magazines, mail, office paper, paperboard, etc) into a brown paper bag or bundle with string. Then place into your blue box.

    Separate your corrugated cardboard (3 layered). The cardboard should be flattened, cut into small pieces and bundled. A good rule of thumb is that the pieces be small enough that they would be able to fit into your blue recycling bins.

    Before you put containers in the blue box
    • rinse containers enough so they won’t smell; and
    • squash the plastic jugs and cartons as best as you can– otherwise we pay a lot of money to transport air.
    • Please don’t give us aerosol cans, Pyrex or plate glass, or anything that didn’t have pet food or people food
    in it.
