Trash & Recycling Guidelines Reminder for Summer

This
summer, Russell Disposal, the City of Somerville's contracted trash hauler,
will be adding trucks to their daily routes, helping to ensure that trash and
recycling are picked up as early as possible. With this in mind and as we head into
the warm summer months, the City of Somerville and Somerville Department of
Public Works remind all residents of proper trash and recycling storage and
disposal procedures to help keep the City clean. Please remember that receptacles must be placed
curbside after 4 p.m. the night before
and no later than 7 a.m. the
day of your collection.

 

 

When
storing trash on your property, please also remember that
City Ordinance requires that trash be kept in sealed containers. Improperly
stored trash will result in fines to property owners. In addition to keeping
the City clean, these procedures will also help to reduce rodent activity.

Thank
you, and have a wonderful summer!
