Garbage and Recycling
Curbside Garbage Collection
- Collected by REACT
- Tuesdays (garbage & recycling alternating every week, see calendar at bottom of page for more information)
- REACT Curbside Instructions
- Bins must be placed in the proper location by 7am
Notice:
Garbage must be placed in a bag prior to being placed inside your curbside bin. This is to decrease risk of garbage being blown about and to prevent wildlife or stray animal disturbance.
Recycling is to be placed freely (not bagged) inside your blue curbside bin. Shredded paper is to be placed inside a clear bag prior to being placed inside your curbside bin.
Fees:
The $11.50 per month waste management fee is included in the utility bill.
Service:
All residential properties connected to water and sewer utilities receive a curbside waste and a recycling bin.

Notice:
Recycling services are an expense to the Town, meaning it’s an expense to you.
Please use the bins as they are intended. This prevents wasting resources associated with this service. If garbage is placed in recycling bins the ENTIRE bin is simply disposed of at the landfill. This is a waste of the funds associated with running the recycling service.
Remember:
Following the guidelines makes recycling more efficient, which decreases the cost to operate the system.
