To effectively serve all patrons, the Town requires compliance to the following regulations: 1.

These items are to be bagged and tied. 5. Collection refuse cannot exceed a one-man lift. 6. Cardboard Collection: In any business area in Town, all corrugated cardboard boxes shall be folded flat and tied in bundles with twine. If twine is not used, the boxes shall be folded flat and placed inside of another cardboard container. Where there are large quantities of loose paper, sufficient boxes may be left intact to hold such paper, and will be collected as garbage. In residential areas corrugated cardboard boxes shall be broken down and stacked and will be collected by the Town collection crew on Wednesday's. You must call the Public Works Department at 434.392.3331 for pickup by 4:00 on Tuesday. 7. No industrial wastes shall be collected by the Town Collection Crew. 8. Garbage shall be placed in the roll-out cart storage receptacle provided by the Town. These receptacles shall be kept closed in order to keep out water, animals and insects, except while being filled or emptied, and shall be kept clean by the resident in order to comply with health and sanitation requirements. All garbage must be placed in a plastic bag before being place in a roll-out cart. 9. All rubbish not subject to decay or fermentation may be placed in a box or bag container, provided that the container and contents do not weigh more than fifty pounds: further provided, that the container is equipped with a cover to prevent the scattering of the contents. Boxes and bags will be of sufficient to strength to withstand the weight of the contents when being handled by the collection crew. Grass clippings must be boxed or bagged. The container that rubbish is placed in will be discarded. Plastic cans or wheelbarrows will not be dumped. 10. Rocks, concrete, car parts, appliances, hot ashes, charcoal, or any substance that would ignite, are not acceptable for disposal and will not be collected by the Town Refuse Collections Department. 11. No liquid shall be placed in any receptacle. 12. On your regular collection day, place your roll-out receptacle curbside, prior to the arrival of the refuse truck (the collection crews commence in residential areas at 7:00 a.m.). Where alleys are in use at the rear of the property, the roll-out cart shall be placed on the property near the way, but in no case shall such roll-out carts be placed in the alleyway or on the street. The roll-out cart receptacle is designed to accommodate 200 pounds maximum. 13. If the roll-out cart is not at the designated place for collection, it will be assumed that no service is needed on your collection day, and a return trip will not be made until the next regular scheduled pick-up day. Roll-out carts are to be removed from curbside by midnight the same day of collection. 14. Dead animal removal from the town streets is the Town's responsibility. 15. All debris placed at the curb for collection must not create a SAFETY HAZARD. 16. Only the refuse that is in the roll-out cart will be picked up on a regular basis. An occasional extra amount will be taken if bagged and placed on top of or beside the roll-out cart. Additional roll-out carts may be purchased by contacting the Public Works Department at 434.392.3331. 17. In case of a change of residency or business owner, contact the Public Works Department so that the roll-out cart may be reclaimed and reissued. The roll-out cart is to remain at the location it is placed. Do not remove carts from their designated/assigned location. (The carts are property of the Town.)
