Household trash and broken down cardboard are picked up Monday mornings, Execptions are when the following holidays occur on a Monday: July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Years Day. Please watch the town website for announcements for changes in trash pick up due to weather and other events.

Household trash must be in plastic bags and placed in covered and secured containers.  Any trash strewn about, or not in closed bags, will not be picked up.  Containers should be placed by the curb by 8am.

In public areas, the blue containers are for bottles and cans, and the trash containers are not for household trash.

Please keep in mind that all Island solid waste has to be hauled to the mainland, a labor-intensive and costly process.  We encourage day-trippers to take their trash home with them.
