REMINDER: TRASH & RECYCLE CARTS MUST BE CURBSIDE BY 7:00 AM ON COLLECTION DAY
As a reminder: Trash carts need to be curbside by 7:00 am.
This applies even if, historically, your trash has been regularly collected later in the day, at say, 10:00 am. If you do not have your carts curbside by 7:00 am, and the truck comes by 'earlier than usual', your pickup will be missed.
This is particularly relevant given that we have a new company doing our curbside collection, and may run their daily routes a bit differently.
The 7:00 am requirement is part of the 900-Waste Disposal Town Ordinance - Section 1.10:
....Town-designated garbage carts may be set out for collection the evening or day before, but must be set out by 7:00 A.M. the morning of collection, and shall be removed from the Town’s right of way the day of collection.
If you have questions or issues regarding your curbside collection, you may reach out to Garbage to Garden directly at 207.332.0277 or info@garbagetogarden.org.
