Please have your new carts placed at the curb by 7am on your collection day and place them at least 5-feet from any objects, such as a mailbox, trees, pole, or automobiles, at least 1-foot from the street, and 3-feet apart from recycling bin to allow for Casella’s drivers to effectively lift and empty the cart with their new automated trucks. All rubbish must be placed in the 65 gallon tote with black lid marked “trash”. If your trash is not picked up on your scheduled day please call 1-88. Snow cancellations will be announced on our website or call Casella at 1-88. Please reference the town's website - main page or call the DPW office 97 for snowstorm delay or cancellation of curbside pickup.
