The following garbage pick-up and disposal policy is in effect. Garbage pickup is on the street. (Weather Permitting). If the garbage is unable to be collected on its regular day because of weather or any other reason, the public works crew will try to pick it up at the earliest possible date.
DOMESTIC HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE (WEDNESDAY PICK-UP) - must be BAGGED in tied plastic garbage bags and set out in the front on the Street for pickup by 9:00am.
COMPOST MATERIAL - MONDAY COLLECTION: Beginning on MONDAY APRIL 16th 2012 COMPOST MATERIAL (MONDAY PICKUP ONLY)- should not be bagged but must be placed in a metal or plastic container or garbage can that allows the compost material to be dumped loosely into the garbage truck. The total weight of the container with the compost material should not exceed 50lbs. This should also be set out in the front on the street for pickup by 9:00AM.
The total weight of the container should not exceed 50lbs. There have been instances where an unusually large amount of garbage has been placed at the curb for pickup and while we realize that certain times of year (e.g. Christmas) create more garbage, council feels that utilizing the recycling services will help to minimize the amounts of garbage.
When the recycling bin is full please notify the town office. Arrangements will be made to have the bin replaced. This is usually 1 or a 2-day turn around. Please flatten all cardboard as well as plastic milk jugs. (Do not place full boxes of flattened cardboard in the bins - place them in individually, this creates less bulk.) Additional cardboard recycling is also available behind the XTR. Please take the time to flatten plastic milk jugs. Loraas is no longer recycling glass. Glass may be disposed with your household garbage. If the Plastic portion of the bin is full please put the plastic in with the glass recycling. Please do not place recyclable material beside the bin - BE PATIENT: WAIT UNTIL THE BIN IS REPLACED
