The Greenfield Department of Public Works provides curbside collection of household trash from houses containing four or fewer housing units. All trash placed for curbside collection must be from the housing units it is placed curbside in front of.
All trash placed curbside for collection must be in plastic bags no larger than 33 gallons and tied so no spillage occurs. No bag shall weigh more than 30 pounds. Bags must be either Town-printed, purchased trash bags or have the proper size trash sticker placed around the neck of the bag. Rates for bags and stickers are annually set by the Mayor. Curbside trash for collection shall be placed on the grass belt next to the roadway edge by 7:00 a.m. on the day of collection, in front of the property where the trash is generated, and should not block any ordinary pedestrian or vehicle traffic.
Bags must be placed curbside for collection between 7:00 p.m. on the day before collection and 7:00 a.m. on the day of collection.
Rubbish barrels may be used; however, all contained trash should be in plastic bags no larger than 33 gallons and which must be easily removable from the barrels. Trash stickers must be on the bags within the barrels, not on the barrel itself. Trash barrels and/or other containers must not be out curbside except from 7:00 p.m. on the day before collection to 7:00 p.m. on the day of collection.
