Every person producing or having garbage or household refuse collected by the town
shall provide and keep on the premises or property occupied or used by him/her, refuse
receptacles or bulk containers to handle all accumulations of garbage and household
refuse on said premises or property in the interval between collections by the town.
(The exceptions are those premises/properties located in a designated downtown disposal
area served by a town-provided compactor and those premises/properties outside the
designated area that request and are accepted by the town manager to be included.)
Every such person shall dispose of all household refuse and garbage which accumulates
on his/her premises in a clean and sanitary manner by placing it in the refuse receptacle,
yard waste containers, bulk containers or compactors in order to protect the safety
and health of town employees and the public at large. All garbage and household refuse
shall be placed in watertight bags and secured at the top to prevent spillage before
being placed in refuse receptacles. The town will not make pickups from condemned
refuse receptacles, yard waste containers and bulk containers.
