For 2021, from July through to the end of September, Garbage collection is provided weekly. Bi-weekly Garbage collection resumes October 2021. The Town also provides alternating bi-weekly Recycling collection services to all residents. Residents can request additional garbage or recycling bins by contacting the town office. Residents will be invoiced for the cost of the additional bins. These efforts are being made to encourage environmental stewardship and waste reduction.
