The Board of Mayor and Burgesses approved the fee schedule associated with the Department of Public Work’s automated refuse and recycling program. The revised regulations can be viewed here.
After soliciting public comment, the Naugatuck Street Commission recently revised the regulations. The major change will allow residents to bring extra bags of refuse to the recycling center for a fee of ONE and 00/100THS ($1.00) DOLLAR per bag ($2.00 for large bags) rather than having to purchase authorized bags for TWO and 50/100THS ($2.50) DOLLARS per bag as originally proposed.
Information regarding collection routes will be made available shortly. It is expected that automated refuse and recycling will begin for approximately one half (1/2) of the Borough in November, 2010. For more information about the program, please view the previous post here.

Glad the charge went down for the bags. What happens to people who can’t make it to the recycling center due to lack of transportation or health issues. Wouldn’t it be more convenient to have people put a request out with the refuse for a bag or bags and they are left by the collector?

Hi Rocky:
Public Works will be analyzing operations after implementation. There will undoubtedly be procedures which will need to be addressed. That being said, single stream recycling should significantly reduce the volume of regular trash. In addition, a ninety-six gallon container is quite large.
Your continued feedback is helpful and much appreciated.
