Please note that the Town will no longer offer curbside yard waste.
For residents who don’t have a car/trailer capable of transporting yard waste, there are several alternatives including:
- Mow leaves into your lawn as fertilizer (preferred option and keeps your lawn healthy!)
- Compost leaves/brush on-site on one’s own property (if possible)
- Ask a friend, family member or neighbor to borrow a vehicle or trailer
- Daily trailer rentals are available at several local moving and equipment rental companies
- The Town will connect volunteers who are willing to transport leaves/brush on behalf of seniors or disabled neighbors who need assistance transporting their yard waste to the drop-off site. (this is not a yard clean-up service, only transportation from curbside to the drop-off site). Please contact the Town Manager’s Office if you need assistance or are willing to help a neighbor in need. 978-743-5337 or email [email protected]
