Curbside Household Garbage Collection

Curbside collection of household waste is provided once a week to all single-family residences. To find out what day your garbage is collected, check the Curbside Collections Calendar.

The Garbage Collection Policy:

• Only household garbage should be placed in rollout carts.
• Only garbage contained in the town-provided rollout carts will be collected.
• The rollout cart should be placed at the curb between 7 p.m. the night before and 6 a.m. the day of collection.
• All garbage should be contained in bags and should not overflow the cart. The lid should be able to close completely.
• The rollout cart must be within 3 feet of the curb, with the handle facing away from the street.
• The cart should be at least 4 feet clear of parked cars, trees and all other obstructions that may impede the garbage truck's mechanical arm from lifting the cart.
• A maximum of two rollout carts are allowed per residence. A fee, to be paid at the Town Hall Annex, is charged for the second cart based on the town's cost.

The first time that the garbage collection policy is not complied with, the driver still will collect your trash. The collector will attach a sanitation policy tag to your cart explaining what you can do to comply with the waste collection policy.

The second time that a sanitation policy tag is left, the driver will not collect your trash. The second policy tag will explain the violations of the policy and will state that your trash will be collected upon compliance with the policy.

Items that cannot be disposed of in rollout carts:
 

• Batteries
• Fuel tanks or fuel cans
• Hazardous waste
• Medical waste
• Chemical by-products
• Pressurized containers
• Used oil
• Shock sensitive waste
• Radioactive waste
