Call Public Works to Purchase a Toter 64-Gallon Garbage Can
|
|
The Public Works Department is responsible for the collection and disposal of garbage within the town limits. Residential collection is done once per week on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in various areas of the town. As a reminder, all garbage must be placed in garbage bags (not to exceed 25 pounds) or in cans (limited to 32 gallon capacity and 50 pounds in weight). Recently, the Public Works staff has noticed that some residents are not observing these weight restrictions, thereby slowing the collection times and affecting the health of our crew members as they struggle to lift the overweight bags and cans.
|
|
To assist our crews and help to resolve the issues of overweight cans, the Town has purchased toter garbage cans (pictured here) for re-sale to the public. These garbage cans are intended to be filled by the home owner and then rolled to the street on garbage day. Our garbage crews can roll the “Toter” to the back of the garbage truck where a lift-assist device mounted on the truck uses a special attachment on the back of the can to pick it up and empty it into the truck. Our crew then rolls the empty toter back to the curb, without ever having to manually pick up the loaded can. Retail price for a comparable can is $65-$70; the Town’s cost for town residents is $45 per toter and includes delivery to the resident’s home and future maintenance of the lid, wheels, and axle. When a homeowner needs to add or replace their garbage
can, the Town encourages its citizens to consider purchasing a toter to speed our garbage collection and more importantly to save the backs of our hard-working sanitation staff.
For additional information, please call the Public Works Department at (828) 645-0606 and speak with Kara Shea. If you wish to purchase a toter, please come to Town Hall to arrange payment and delivery.
