To: All Residential Curbside Trash & Recycling Participants
Re: Trash & Recycling Collection Safety Issues
Please be advised that all residents with curbside trash and recycling collection in the Town of Belmont are not permitted to place their carts on the sidewalk or in the roadway.
Trash and recycling carts may not impede pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
This is an important safety issue to prevent pedestrians, including students walking to school, from walking in the roadway, and to prevent vehicles from the need to cross over into the oncoming lane of traffic to avoid trash or recycling carts placed in the roadway.
Per the Town of Belmont’s Solid Waste Ordinance, Section II c, “. . . The Hauler or his/her designee shall have the authority to review and approve or disapprove placement of the collection carts. Alternative sites may be necessary to safeguard public safety and minimize the risk of damage to public or private property during the collection process.”
In addition, Section IX a and b state “Any person who violates this Ordinance shall be guilty of a violation for each such violation. Any person who violates this Ordinance, upon determination of the Board of Selectmen, may be subject to a fine, payable to the Town, of not more than $250.00 for each such violation.”
Residents shall immediately cease placing trash and recycling carts on the sidewalk or roadway.
Effective October 7, 2024, any carts placed on the sidewalk or roadway will NOT be collected by Casella. In addition, the Board of Selectmen may make a determination of a fine for the violation.
If you have concerns about placement of your carts for collection, please contact Colleen Akerman at the Belmont Town Hall at (603) 267-8300 xt. 118. We can help you coordinate with Casella and/or the Department of Public Works to help determine a safe collection location.
