NOTICE: IMPORTANT CHANGES TO GARBAGE COLLECTION ARE COMING!
What changes? The town will be switching to automated garbage collection. What this means is that the new garbage truck will reach and lift the container into the truck with little physical effort from the operator. Existing residents will be supplied a new, large garbage receptacle at no charge which is capable of holding at least 3 regular garbage bags. Why? The new automated method of collecting is efficient, reduces litter, and greatly reduces the risk of injury to our staff. When? The program is expected to be launched in late summer or early winter of 2013. Will my collection day change? Due to the growth of the town, some residents will see their garbage collection day change. Does this change affect green box or yard/kitchen waste collection? No, your recyclables and yard/kitchen waste will continue to be collected as is. Green box containers are supplied by the town while yard/kitchen waste containers, or biodegradable bags, are supplied by the residents. How do I find out more information? The details of the program will be introduced to residents throughout the summer, or contact the Public Works Department at 403-887-2800.
