All Town of Ashland residents that are enrolled in the town’s curbside rubbish & recycling program will be receiving a wheeled recycling cart to replace all other recycling bins/containers, at the curb.
· The carts will be delivered to each enrolled household between Monday, 7/10/2017 & Saturday, 7/15/2017. Please contact Dave at the DPW at DMiller@ashlandmass.com or 508-532-7943, if you haven’t received your cart by Monday, 7/17/2017
· All household recycling must be contained within the carts. No other recycling containers/bins will be accepted at curbside.
· NO PLASTIC BAGS or PLASTIC WRAP. Please do not bag your recycling
· The carts are for recycling ONLY. All trash is still required to be within the orange “Town of Ashland” trash bags.
· Carts should be set no further than 3 feet from the road’s edge and the arrows on the lid of the container should be facing the street.
· Carts are property of the Town of Ashland. They are assigned serial numbers that correspond to each residential address and should not be removed from the address that they are assigned to.
· Residents may personalize carts with a sticker or decal, to more easily identify them. DO NOT mark-up carts with paint or markers.
· For repairs to cart wheels or lids, call Waste Management at 800-972-4545.
· There’s a handy and very informative guide molded right into the lid of every cart which instructs what should and should not be placed into the cart for recycling.
· Many residents will want to keep their old blue recycling bins for other uses around the house. For residents that choose to dispose of their unwanted blue recycling bins, DO NOT leave them at curbside for removal. Residents that choose to dispose of their unwanted blue bins, they may bring them to the DPW (20 Ponderosa Road) to be recycled from Monday, 7/17/2017 through Saturday, 7/29/2017. There will be a dumpster on-site during this period for the blue bins to be deposited into.
· Recycling will continue to be picked up on a weekly basis, with your trash. If you don’t fill your cart every week…wheel it out to the curb every other week.
· ENJOY the new covered, wheeled recycling carts! They are surprisingly easy to maneuver and eliminate the need to carry multiple bins to the curbside, they prevent recyclables from becoming wet on rainy/snowy days and best of all they will keep recycling from blowing throughout town on windy days.
