The Naugatuck Public Works Department has released the routes and changes in regular trash and recycle days associated with the change to automated collection.  See which streets are changing to the new system and what the new day will be by linking here.  Those scheduled to begin automated collection should start receiving containers as early as October 25, 2010.

Some streets will not be included in the automated collection system at this time, but will have a change in collection days.  See which streets will not yet switch to the new system but will experience a change in collection days by linking here.

The following information was released by Naugatuck Recycling Coordinator Sheila Baummer, who has instrumental in addressing all the logistics associated with the new system.

“The all important dates are:

Cascade will begin delivering the carts on October 25th and expect to
take 8 to 10 days to complete the process.
New collection days will begin the week of Nov 8 to Nov 12.
Non-automated routes will recycle that week – Nov 8 to 12 and every
other week after.
Automated routes will recycle the next week – Nov 15 to 19 and every
other week after.
THE EXCEPTION: There’s one group of streets “The Ridge”, Osborn Road,
which will not be automated for now, they will have Tuesday collection
but will recycle starting Nov 12 to 15 as this group of streets will the
the next to be given Automated carts.

In the midst of all this we will be collecting leaves the 1st, 3rd, and
last weeks of November.

If residents call and have concerns about the cart size, collection
location, schedule, acceptable materials, or anything else related to
this transition please do not hesitate to have them give us a call.

Thank you for your support as we bring our sanitation program to a new
level.
