Bulky Waste

Residents are allowed two (2) pick-ups per calendar year.
You must call for a pick-up. If you do not call for a bulky waste pick-up, any bulky waste materials placed curbside will not be removed. The telephone number for arranging bulky waste collection is 800-391-3592 or 887-8352. Bulky Waste pickups are intended for removal of a nominal amount of trash, in accordance with the limits specified below.  Alternately, you may use both of your annual pick-ups at one time if the total amount of bulky waste exceeds the limits of one collection and is within the limits of two collections.  If you anticipate exceeding allowable limits you should consider making arrangements for a commercial dumpster at your expense.

 

The Town reserves the right to charge residents for two pick-ups if the placed load exceeds the limits of one collection.  Any bulky waste placed by residents that exceeds the limits of two pick-ups in one year will be left for residents to dispose of alternately.

 

Residents may also utilize the Transfer Station for bulky and special waste disposal. If bulky waste quantities exceed specified limits or when both on-call pick-ups are utilized at a particular address in a calendar year, additional waste must be disposed of at the Transfer Station or by alternate means (e.g., commercial dumpster).

 

Material must be placed in accordance with the following guidelines and limitations. Improperly placed items will not be removed.

Items covered:

  • Household Furniture (including mattresses) - Maximum of two (2) pieces per pick-up.
  • Scrap Wood - A neat pile of material not to exceed five (5) feet long, three (3) feet high, and five (5) feet wide. No Sheetrock/drywall or plaster.
  • White Goods (e.g., appliances) - One (1) appliance per pick-up. Freon-bearing items must display a pickup decal available from Town Hall, Libraries, Transfer Station at the cost of $10.00.
  • Miscellaneous Metals - Maximum eight (8) foot length. Unlimited quantity if properly sized. Scrap metal will be picked up on Friday each week.
  • Leaves - Must be in biodegradable bags. Unlimited quantity. Bags available commercially or at Town Hall, Libraries, and Transfer Station. Leaves will be collected on Wednesday of each week.
