BRUSH:
Residents are reminded that the Town does NOT provide brush and yard waste pick up. Brush that has been left along the side of the road may not be picked up by town forces. The original intent of any brush pick following Storm Alfred was that debris that fell within the TOWN RIGHT OF WAY ( that small strip of land that abuts a town road) would be picked up by the town. It was not the intent to provide brush pick up for residents who cleared their entire property of tree limbs, branches, etc following the storm.
Normal methods of disposal for debris caused by trees owned by the property owner should be utilized. Debris can be placed into wooded areas to let nature take its course, wood chippers can be used to break down the debris, or the debris can be hauled to the transfer station (RRDD#1)
Regional Refuse Disposal District # 1 does accept brush -- there is a fee (by cubic yard) charged for disposal. Call 860-379-1972 for additional information.
An additional method of disposal would be to get a burning permit, if you have the space available. Call Town hall for contact info for the burning official
Anyone having any questions regarding brush removal can call Town Hall at 860-379-3389 to discuss.
