Dear Cumberland Citizens,
Welcome to the
new edition of the Cumberland Crier. We have been having issues with
the email program. The program is not intended to have as much information
in it as we have been trying to do. As a result, I will be
trying to put the most important Town news as a priority, followed by
agendas and as much local information as can fit. If you do not
see your information in this letter, I will try to get it in the next
edition. I will do my best to accommodate everyone. If you have any
community event that you would like to submit for
this newsletter, please email todonnell@cumberlandmaine.com
Have a
wonderful weekend, and thank you for subscribing.

PUBLIC SERVICES NOTICE
Fall of 2011 Bulky Item
Pickup Week is scheduled for the week of October 17th through the 21st.
A Bulky Item Pickup Week
was designed to assist the Residents of Cumberland in the disposal of
large, oversized items that cannot fit into the Town's PAYT bags in
the weekly trash or be recycled in regular curbside
recycling.
Examples of items that
could be included in the Bulky Waste Pickup are chairs, couches,
mattresses, large metal items such as electric water heaters and
bicycles.
This program is not
designed to be a free trash disposal week. Smaller items that could
fit into a PAYT bag should be disposed of with your weekly
trash. Generic bags and boxes of household materials will no
longer be accepted.
Phones, computers, TV's
and appliances containing Freon should be disposed of at Riverside
Recycling for a small fee or donated to a charitable organization
like Goodwill.
2 Tires per household
will be accepted if the rim has been removed.
Paint Cans that are OPEN
and DRY will be picked up during Bulky Waste Week only, at no other
time during the year.
For a more extensive
list of items that will and will not be picked up this time, please
see the Town's Web Site at www.cumberlandmaine.com or

SIGN UP FOR FREE DISPOSAL OF OLD PESTICIDES BY
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
The Maine Board of Pesticides Control (BPC) is organizing
free safe disposal of old pesticides at four collection sites.
The collected chemicals will go to out-of-state disposal facilities
licensed by the US EPA where they are incinerated or reprocessed.
"Disposal of obsolete pesticides is expensive for the
state," notes Paul Schlein of the BPC,
"but it's clearly much less than the cost of cleaning up
contaminated soil or water. However, it's worth noting that future
funding is not guaranteed, so be sure to take advantage of this
year's collection while you can." Preregistration is
required by September 30. To register, get details, and learn
important information about the temporary storage and transportation ofobsolete pesticides, go to the BPC Web site at www.thinkfirstspraylast.org,
or call the BPC at 287-2731.
