The collection of yard rubbish is provided on a call-in basis with Monday as the scheduled pick-up day. Call-in requests must be made to the Public Works Department by calling 392-3331. This collectable waste includes grass clippings, leaves, garden and hedge trimmings, all need to be boxed or bagged and placed curbside for pickup on the scheduled collection day. Tree trimmings should be cut into pieces not to exceed four (4) feet in length and tied and piled in bundles along the curb or in the alley ways, separate from all other debris. When tree cutting or trimming is done by a contractor, it is their responsibility for the disposal of limbs or trees. The Town cannot guarantee that all items will be collected on your collection day. Only the amount that one man can carry at a time will be picked up. Also, the equivalent of a 1/2 ton pickup truck load will be collected. All yard rubbish should be placed between the curb and sidewalk or in the alley ways. Each household is responsible for placing the rubbish along the curb so that the area will be safe for pedestrians and not prevent the flow of water or prevent sight to vehicular traffic. A dump truck will be provided upon request for purpose of large quantities of acceptable rubbish. There is a charge for the use of the truck which will be driven to the pick-up location by a town employee and also driven to the landfill after loading. The individual requesting the truck is responsible for loading it. The individual will be billed for the charge of the truck and the tipping fee for the rubbish at the landfill. Rubbish from building repairs and construction operations is the disposal responsibility of the household or contractor. Refuse collection is no provided for these types of pickups. Items such as furniture, bedding, appliances, and carpets are only picked up during the clean up campaigns. These campaigns are held twice yearly, one in April and the second during October. The Department of Public Works is located at 814 Longwood Avenue. Office hours are Monday thru Friday 7:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. You can reach the Department of Public Works by calling 434.392.3331. | ||
