Trash Update 3/7/26 5:00 PM - Friday Trash Route

Today (Saturday 3/7/26) the Franklin DPW crew made progress emptying trash-totes from the streets that were not collected on Friday.

The DPW crew will be back out tomorrow to collect the carts that have not yet been emptied this week. 

Streets to be collected tomorrow (Sunday 3/8/26): 
- Maple Street (even numbers)
- Partridge Street (odd numbers between Pond Street and Maple Street)
- Main Street (#298, #304, #314) 
Please leave your trash cart at the curb, if you reside at one of these addresses.


*Note: as discussed in the Town Council meeting March 4, 2026, WasteMgt does have limitations per the contract for the time that their drivers can work. It is good to see the Town stepping up to cover for this.
