PUBLIC SERVICES NOTICE
For the past 6 years,
Cumberland has been using the Pay As You Throw (PAYT) system. This
program has been very effective in both lowering the cost of the Towns'
Solid Waste bill and increasing the amount of recycling done in the
Town.
There have been some
recent concerns by Residents and Pine Tree Waste that indicate a few
timely reminders are needed.
- Your
solid waste and recycling should be curbside on the day of your
collection, by 7:00 am, but not earlier than 6:00pm on the day
before.
- Regardless
of the time your waste is usually picked up, it needs to be
curbside by 7:00am as pickup times can
and will change from time to time.
- Pine
Tree Waste will no longer cross the road to collect waste on
the opposite of the road. This is to ensure the safety of the
collectors. They will do one side of the road first and then
the other.
- The
collectors will ONLY collect solid waste Town of Cumberland Pay
As You Throw trash bags. PAYT bags cannot be tied to trash can
handles.
- Clink
bags looks very similar to PAYT bags, however Clink bags will not be
collected.
The curbside collection
is currently provided by Pine Tree Waste and any collection problems or
questions should be reported to them by calling 773-1122 and asking
for a Customer Services Representative.
