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!
