ORLEANS – Town of Orleans officials have announced the street department will continue curbside yard waste pick up for the town’s citizens as a courtesy in keeping the Orleans community clean and beautiful.
The town has designated each Tuesday of the month as yard waste collection day except during a holiday week. Pickup will resume the next business week.
The Town Crew will collect yard waste (grass clippings, small twigs, garden waste, shrubbery trimmings, etc.), which is placed at the curb provided they are marked containers that do not weigh more than 50 pounds.
Small tree limbs and branches will be collected at curbside if reasonably stacked with the base pointing toward the street and only if they have been cut into four-foot lengths and not larger than 3 “ in diameter.
The street employees will NOT collect larger tree limbs, stumps, and trunks. Residents may take those types of items to the town lake area and place them on the brush pile by accessing a key at the town office.
The Town Superintendent will have the final say on what is allowed to be collected.
Orleans Town officials reserve the right to change this policy in extraordinary situations, such as severe storm damage.
Limbs and yard debris may be dropped off at the town lake. NO treated or painted lumber allowed.
For more information or to schedule a pick-up, residents may contact the Orleans Town Offices during regular business hours M-F 812 865 2539; or via email: orleanstownhall@townoforleans.org
