To aid residents in adjusting to the new collection schedule, the Curbside Solid Waste Collections division has been authorized to perform an extra collection of garbage only for the Monday solid waste collection route.

An extra garbage only collection of the Monday route will occur on Friday, July 8th 2016 following the Fourth of July Holiday. This will not include yard waste or recycling collection. If your normal day of waste collection is Monday you may set out your blue garbage container the evening of Thursday July 7, for an additional garbage only collection on Friday, July 8. Set out your blue garbage containers only, do not set out yard waste or recycling containers.

Please refer to the 2016 Refuse & Recycling Manual for a map of the Watertown solid waste collection route days, the list of 2016 holidays including the collection date for the particular holiday, and a color coded calendar that shows recycling, garbage, and yard waste collection days throughout 2016.
