TRASH HOLIDAYS
For some holidays, trash and recycling pickup will be delayed one day from the date of the holiday through the remainder of the week.  Please refer to the Town Newsletter for updated information on trash & recycling holidays.

If a holiday is not listed, trash pick will remain on regular schedule that week!! 

 

BASIC GUIDELINES
 

• • 10 bags of basic household rubbish 

  • 2 large items (mattress, armchair, standard couch) per household per year will be picked up at no charge IF PREVIOUSLY ARRANGED WITH Dependable Disposal.  Any additional items will incur a pickup fee.

  • Any type of trash bags is acceptable (clear, white, dark, etc.)

  • During snow season, the cans/bins will be left in the driveway unless the homeowner clears an area in the yard for them. Dependable Disposal will do their best to set them back in their original place (but cannot guarantee they won’t be subsequently affected by wind, plows, etc.).
