<\/span><\/p>\nThe total cost of purchasing the new bins is $413,181, to be paid from the Reclamation Trust Fund.<\/p>\n
Public Works Director Janusz Czyzowski said he anticipates the Town will increase their collection of recyclables, despite the shift to bi-weekly collections, as the volume of the new bins is substantially larger than that of the bins residents were previously using to collect recyclables.<\/p>\n
Residents who want an additional bin for collecting recyclables may purchase one from the Town at the same unit price the Town paid. Households of more than six people will receive an additional bin free if requested.<\/p>\n
Chairman John Farrell asked town staff to consider opening the Town\u2019s Drop-Off Center sometime between Christmas and New Year\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Council approved the expenditure of $2,400 from the Reclamation Trust Fund for improvements to the Town\u2019s Drop-Off Center.<\/p>\n
The addition of a mobile storage container for collecting electronic recyclable material at the Drop-Off Center will provide for the proper recycling and reclamation of wastes and has been identified as a need in the Town\u2019s Capital Improvement Program CIP), according to Czyzowski.<\/p>\n
The Town\u2019s Drop-Off Center opened last weekend and will remain open on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., weather permitting, until Nov. 19, when the Center will close for the season.<\/p>\n
Payment for drop-offs is accepted by check only.<\/p>\n
Czyzowski said the first day of operation went smoothly.<\/p>\n
