STRATFORD – The Stratford Department of Public Works reminds residents who are a part of the Town refuse collection program and received the new trash and recycling carts that Sanitation will pick up any old, unwanted trash cans on Saturday, October 12, and Saturday, October 26. The old cans should be placed out like a regular refuse collection by 6AM on the 12th or the 26th. Public Works recommends keeping old cans that are intact and usable for leaf and lawn cleanup.
If residents are unable to place their old cans out for pickup on those dates, they may drop them off at the Transfer Station, Monday through Friday, 7AM - 3PM, or on Saturdays between 8AM - 12PM.
Additionally, PW reminds residents that they should NOT place any trash or recycling alongside or outside of the new carts on their collection day. Anything outside of the carts will NOT be picked up by Sanitation, and carts should not have overflow in order for the lid to be properly closed when placed out for collection.
