Q. - Still using recycle bins? Wondering when you're going to get a barrel?
A. - About half the city has been converted to recycle barrels. The remainder will be converted this spring (2012) as we get the funding needed for new recycle barrels and the trucks to collect/empty them.
Please let us know about hazardous potholes. You can email us and let us know the location and size of the pothole. ** Please note - the State DOT (Department of Transportation) is responsible for potholes on state roads (Route 6/Farmington Avenue, Route 72, Route 69/Burlington Ave-West Street, Route 229/King - Middle Streets).
