No Trash Pickup on Martin Luther King Jr. Day

There will be no curbside trash collection in observance of Martin Luther King Day. Jan. 20.  Trash collection for Martin L. King Day will be scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 21, in addition to the regular Tuesday collection.  This is standard procedure for any holiday.

For safety reasons, they will discontinue pickup at dark on Tuesday, Jan. 21.  Any rubbish not picked up on Tuesday, Jan. 21 will be picked up on Wednesday, Jan. 22.

Christmas Trees with bags and stands removed may be left at curbside on your regular recycling collection day and will be picked up by a separate truck during January only. This is the only method of disposal. Christmas trees won't be accepted at the transfer station.

All rubbish and recyclables must be curbside by 7 a.m. on your collection day. No barrel more than 30-gallon size will be emptied. They are now able to pick up tubeless TV's and computer monitors with curbside trash but older TV's and computer monitors with tubes (CRTs) cannot be picked up curbside and must be brought to the transfer station. Large household appliances (metal items) must be called into the Public Works for appointment for pickup.

The transfer station is open every Sunday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feel free to call the office at 781-344-2112 if you have any questions.
