Town of Franklin: robocall with DPW Director Brutus Cantoreggi delivering the messages 1/25/26 (audio)

Good Morning Franklin, this is Brutus Cantoreggi, your public works director calling about important information regarding the upcoming snow event that hopefully you have heard about!

There is a lot going on, so get your pens and paper out for note taking!

First thing first, working with the Franklin police, a full parking ban will be instituted today Jan 25th at noon and remain in effect until tomorrow Jan 26th at noon.  

What does this mean to you?  Please remove your vehicles from the roadways.  Leaving your vehicle in the public right of way makes our job of clearing snow much more difficult, costs more money and potentially causes  safety issues for not only us, but also you fellow residents.  So be a good citizen and more your vehicle!

Secondly, all non-emergency town offices will be closed tomorrow Jan 26th due to the storm.  Don’t worry, fire, police and most importantly public works will be working for you!

Finally, Get your pens and paper ready, the following might get a little complicated for some folks, your scheduled trash and recycling pick up will be delayed one day.  

What does that mean to you?

• Monday trash and recycling will be picked up on Tuesday,
• Tuesday trash and recycling will be picked up on Wednesday,
• Wednesday trash and recycling will be picked up on Thursday,
• Thursday trash and recycling will be picked up on Friday,
• And Friday trash and recycling will be picked up Saturday!

Finally if you don’t have to go out, please don’t while it's snowing.  

If you do, please be safe.

Have an excellent public works day!!!
