In accordance with the Town’s Solid Waste Regulation, lids on your trash cart must be completely closed. Any trash that does not fit in your cart with the lid fully closed must be put in a Town approved blue overflow bag. The blue bag(s) should be placed next to or on top of your cart for collection. Excess trash placed curbside in any bag other than the Town approved blue overflow bag will not be collected.
These bags are not to be used for recycling. About 70% of household waste is recyclable, so you could save yourself the cost of extra blue bags by carefully recycling and reduce your amount of trash! You can purchase these bags at
