Beginning July 1 - "Carry In, Carry out" for summer Recreational programs

"Good Morning,

I wanted to share an important update with all youth sports groups regarding a new policy from the Department of Public Works (DPW) that will take effect on July 1st (FY2026).

Due to the recent failed override vote, the DPW’s operational budget has been reduced by $463,329. As a result, they will be forced to eliminate all summer help and significantly scale back trash and recycling services at town fields and facilities.

Beginning July 1, all coaches, parents, and players must follow a “Carry In – Carry Out” policy for all trash and recyclables. Please help us spread the word and ensure that everyone participating in youth sports is aware of this change.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Beginning July 1 - "Carry In, Carry out"

Best regards,

Ryan Jette
