Garbage Collection Guide Error
There was a misprint in the Collection Guides delivered to each Town household. Previously, the Collection Guide stated:
"Bundle plastic bags into one clear bag and place loose papers inside a cardboard box in order to reduce litter and to protect the machinery at the sorting facility."
This line should not have been included in the Collection Guide and should be ignored entirely. Plastic Bags should only be placed in the black garbage carts, and loose paper is fine to be placed into the blue recycling carts as is.
