Know Which Appliance Can Be Recycled

There is nothing more embarrassing than to come home to see that some broken down appliance you placed along the side of your house on trash pick up day is still there when you come home.

So it is helpful to know which appliances can and cannot be taken away with or without an orange recycling sticker purchased from the town.

The sticker must be affixed to each item prior to pick-up. Calling to schedule a pick-up is also required. Call the Belmont Highway Division office by noon the business day before your normal trash collection day to schedule a pick-up. Applainces are collected on the regular trash collection day only.  

Purchase sticker and affix to appliance prior to placing at curb by 7 a.m. on the scheduled day.
