Curbside Pickup - Solid Waste & Recyclables

E.L. Harvey & Sons will handle the trash and recycling service.

E.L. Harvey & Sons is now handling the trash and recycling service. Important changes you will need to take note.  

Your pickup day will remain the same, but the time your bins are emptied may change.  You should always have your bins out on the curb by 7:00 am and removed from the curb by 7:00 pm. 

Another import change is if you have any questions, issues or concerns with your pickup or how to dispose of an item you will call Harvey directly.  Harvey and Sons has a fully staffed call center to help you.  CALL 800-321-3002 for all trash-recycling answers.

For questions about Household Hazardous Waste Day in the late Spring, you will call the Board of Health for the date. 

Sharps Mail Back Program will be discontinued.  You may drop your sharps off at the Senior Center.
