We have just been notified by Best Way that delivery and assembly of new trash bins will begin next week they have had a delay in shipping. Trash pick up curb side of bags will be Friday and the dumpster at the shop on Vine Street will continue until bins are delivered. Please keep in mind the dumpster is for bagged trash items not heavy disposal. Heavy disposal items fill the dumpster quickly and does not allow for residents to dispose of bagged trash.

Attention Residents:
We have been informed Waste Management is in town picking up your bins. Please have them to the curb for pick up, if they are not at the curb Waste Management will not pick them up. They are going street by street and hope to be finished by Saturday. They also told us they are making one trip down each street. A text alert is also being sent out regarding bin pick up.
