REMINDER!! Weekly Garbage Collection Will Now Be On THURSDAYS Beginning December 21
12/14/2023
G&G Garbage has requested that Richey's weekly garbage collection day be moved from Friday to Thursday. The Town has agreed to this new schedule and feels that it will be a positive for our community for a couple of reasons. First, if our garbage is unable to be picked up on a given Thursday (for example, because of severe weather), it is much more likely that G&G can reschedule us for Friday versus coming back over the weekend. Second, people who are not in Town on Fridays, and/or leave town on Friday for the weekend, may be hesitant to set out their totes on Friday morning and leave them out all weekend; Thursday pick-ups will alleviate this concern as well.
