Holiday Tree Calendar
Natural Christmas trees will be picked up curbside the week of January 9th on your normal trash and recycling pick up day.  Make sure they are within 3 feet of the curb and out the day before.  Artificial trees and/or trees with decorations, tinsel, lights or other ornaments will not be picked up.


Recycling can not be put in bags as the automated sorting process can't open the bag.  All Recyclables must be loose in the cart.

Street parking can impede the trash and recycling trucks and keep carts from being serviced.  Please make sure vehicles are not blocking carts especially when snow is on the ground.

Now Online the New and Improved Franklin Bylaws Regarding Trash and Recycling - Putting trash in the recycling cart is a fine up to $100; Hazardous Materials such as TV, Air Conditioners, etc - $300

Think Green Website including Teachers Resources and Recycling Facility Video now available - click sidebar link.

Now online - your cart serial number!  Easy to check by address.



Keep the carts 3 feet apart for collection - the arm needs to get around them
