Town urges residents not to bag grass as leaf-pickup season starts

The committee discussed fall yard management and distributed the schedule for loose brush and leaf pickup. S3 noted the fall pickup schedule is out and advises residents "after the 1st round that people bag" to ensure leaf collection on a second round when weather prevents timely pickup. Chair (S2) urged residents to stop bagging grass, calling it harmful to the environment and costly to the town.

S2 told the committee the town is "looking into budgeting and stuff about yard waste and the fees going up for that because it's so much." The group agreed to keep advising residents by flyer and in local media and to review budget implications before proposing fee changes.
