Town awards Republic Services new waste collection contract with seasonal recycling
What happened
The Town awarded Republic Services a contract for waste collection services on October 16, 2026. As of October 1, the new contracted agreement introduced a Seasonal Green Waste Recycling program, which requires Republic Services to collect yard waste twice a year, typically in the spring and fall. Outside of these designated periods, yard waste is collected as bulk trash and sent to the landfill.
Why it matters
The new contract introduces specific collection requirements and a biannual recycling schedule for yard waste. This changes the operational scope for Republic Services, which is the provider of trash, recycling, bulk, and brush collection services for the Town.
