Summary

Town Clerk Jennifer Newbold said a letter from GFL Government Contracts Manager Jennifer Rackley notifies the town that waste and recycling collection days will change to Tuesday, and the company outlined potential operational issues and possible solutions.
Council discussed how the new schedule could affect residents and housekeeping of waste/recycle carts, including compliance with the town's existing cart placement ordinance. Newbold said she will follow up with GFL to clarify timing and logistics and to report back to council.
The council did not take formal action at the workshop; the item was placed on the follow-up list for the next meeting or for staff-level resolution. Public commenters at the workshop also raised concerns about waste cart placement during the public-input period.
