GARBAGE PICKUP & SNOW REMOVAL
During the winter, refuse and recycling containers shall not be placed in the roadway.  Please keep them off the roads so that our snowplow operators can keep our roadways clean and safe for public transportation.  If refuse and recycling containers are left on the road, they may be damaged by the snowplows.

All refuse and recyclables shall be picked up at either the driveway entrance within five (5) feet of the curb line or edge of Town approved streets or roads as well as all private roads. 


GARBAGE CANS & RECYCLING BINS IN THE ROADWAY OR ON THE SHOULDER
Please place your garbage can(s) and recycling bin(s) on your driveway.  They SHOULD NOT be in the roadway or on the shoulder, especially during winter.  If you leave your garbage can(s) and recycling bin(s) in the roadway or on the shoulder during snowplowing, damage to your cans and bins may result.
