How do I prepare my barrels for trash / recycling day?

You should place your barrel(s) at the curb before 5:00 am on collection day. Place barrels at least two feet apart from each other with the lid opening toward the street. If snow or other items at the curb are blocking the barrel they should be removed or the Town's automated collection equipment will not be able to access your barrel. For safety reasons, waste truck drivers are not authorized to leave their cab to move or adjust barrels.
