Garbage and recycling bins are only allowed on the edge of your yard or driveway on your collection day and should not be near the traveled portion of the roadway.  They are NEVER allowed on the shoulder of the road or across the road from your residence.  If your garbage hauler requests anything different, they are asking you to violate town road right-of-way ordinances, and you are subject to a citation.

For safety reasons, if your bins are an obstacle during a snowplowing operation, the drivers will NOT exit their vehicles to move them.  The drivers are not responsible for damages or spills due to garbage bins on the shoulder or traveled portion of the road.
