One time trash pickup up

Just a reminder…. all trash & recycling needs to be placed curbside either the night before, or by 7:00AM. Collection schedules are subject to change due to a variety of reasons such as equipment problems, personnel changes or weather. If you are used to afternoon pickups and do not put the trash out until later in the day, a change could take place wherein your route would be done in the morning. Drivers cannot leave the route they are on to go back and get the trash that…was not missed…but put out late.

Please Remember…

Boxes or bags outside your cart can not be collected.
Additional Trash Cart may be purchased with a cost of $100 per year. Addtional Recycling Cart are just a one time charge of $50

Please, no plastic bags in the recycling cart.

Also, there are special textile containers at every Braintree school, creating access 7 days a week (during daylight hours).
