I am worried someone will steal my recycling or trash cart. How is the DPW addressing my concern?

The DPW understands these concerns, and has taken steps to alleviate them:

  • All black trash carts have a serial number printed on the front panel of the container. Records are kept concerning which serial numbers are connected to each Town Refuse account.
  • The Sanitation department will perform periodic spot checks to ensure that customers are using the trash cart they ordered.
  • If a cart goes missing, the Sanitation Department will investigate, and attempt to locate the cart.
