The Highway Department has started its annual spring cleanup of yard waste debris. Any yard waste can be brought curbside for bulk pickup until May 15th. I’d like to urge all residents to bring their debris to the roadside as soon as possible to ensure it will be picked up before the 15th.

Anything brought to the curbside after May 15th will need to be put in biodegradable paper bags and will be picked up once a week. Until this time, items such as leaves, branches, and small bulk wood should be separated and placed next to the road for pick up.
 Residents are also allowed to bring their debris to the Town of Milton transfer station located at the Town Hall on Geyser Road Monday through Thursdays 6:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. and Saturdays 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Please note the transfer station is closed on holiday weekends (Memorial Day, July 4th weekend and Labor Day).   In addition, mulch and compost is available free to town residents while supplies last.

After May 15th, the Highway Department will be starting summer roadwork construction.   Fairground Avenue, Ulysses Drive, and Burgoyne Drive are on the tentative list of roads to be repaired this season.

Hours of operation for the Highway Department are Monday – Thursday 6:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact the Highway Department at 885-5655. Any emergency calls after hours can be directed to the Sheriff’s Department at 885-6761.
