Trash Services
Street Service:
Place your curbside container on the street directly in front of your curb. If you live in a cul-de-sac place the cans on the edge of the sidewalk. Please follow the directions located on the top of the lid of the curbside container. It is very important that the arrows on top of the lid point towards the street.
Allow 36 inch clearance between cans, and 5 feet between other obstructions such as cars, power poles and fire hydrants. Please take extra care not to block access to your mailbox.
Placing trash into trash bags inside the container would be very considerate, especially during windy conditions. Please do not secure the lid with bungee cords, rocks, bricks, etc. On extra trash days, please place the extra trash a minimum of 5 feet away from the curbside container. Please do not stack extra trash on top of the lid.
Alley Service:
If you have alley service, the container should be located on the designated side of the alley. The semi-automated method of trash collection will be used in the alleys, with refuse being loaded on the rear of the trash truck.

Conditioned upon availability, you may request a residential dumpster to be delivered to your house for one week at a time free of charge once a year. If more time is needed, the Town provides a 'paid by dump' program for two week periods twice a year. We highly recommend this service if you are remodeling or undertaking a large landscaping project. Before a dumpster can be delivered, your account must be current and in good standing, as well as having a Release of Liability Form on file. View

The residential water is not based on metered usage at this time, though we greatly appreciate conservation efforts. The Town provides special curbside containers to the customers for both trash and yard waste pickup.
