We are able to keep costs to taxpayers down by only accepting material
that the county grinder can handle, packaged in a way requiring minimal
labor time in handling. This is a seasonal service, however in the
event of a weather related incident that generates a lot of yard waste
(like a winter ice storm), Town Hall may arrange for an off-season
pick-up. Be sure to check the local press and other information outlets
for announcements.
