Per the Town’s contract, GreenWaste is required to provide a Recycling bin to each household for free. The yard waste/compostables service has been ADDED and the service is free of charge, which provides residents the option of recycling on a higher level (e.g., food waste). If GreenWaste was required to provide another bin to each household, they would have to increase the rates to cover the cost of the additional bins.
