We ask that you commit to a long term use of the barrel, as we cannot grant barrels for one time use or clean outs. Each residential home is supplied with one trash barrel and one recycling barrel (it is the property owners responsibility to maintain and clean).
The Trash & Recycle barrels provided are the Town of Westwood property and it is the resident/property owner responsibility to maintain and clean. The barrels cannot be removed from the property as the serial numbers are specific to the address assigned. If the barrel is damaged as a result of neglect, or if the cart is missing or stolen; the resident/property owner will be responsible for the replacement cost ($60 each).
EVERYTHING to be collected (trash, recycle, yard waste & bulk) must be at curbside by 7am on your scheduled day. ANY missed pick-ups (that were at curbside by 7am) need to be reported to dpw@westwoodma.gov or 781-251-2587 within 24 hours of your scheduled day.
