Print Story | Email Story
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — As pickup of the old trash and recycling containers started this week, the city shares the following updates:
 
Casella originally planned to pick up all old containers every day for each route this week. However, due to the varying sizes and large quantity of old containers being placed at the curb, Casella needs additional time for pick up.
 
Casella will continue to pick up old containers this week for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday routes but may not make it to every household on the route. For any containers that are unable to be collected this week, the city asks residents to place them at the curb for pickup on your designated collection day next week, from Nov. 18 to Nov. 11.
 
In the meantime, store containers until collection next week.
 
In addition, residents will have the option to drop off their toters at the transfer station located at 500 Hubbard Avenue on Saturday, November 23 from 8 a.m. to noon.
