All rubbish placed for curbside collection must have specially printed Greenfield trash stickers. The 13 gallon "kitchen" sticker is $1.25, the 33 gallon "trash" sticker is $2.00, and the 8 gallon size bag** is $5.00 for a ten pack. It is also very important to have rubbish curbside by 7:00 a.m. Please remember there is a 30 pound weight limit for all bags and containers.
Stickers are available at the following locations:
Aubuchon’s
Big Y
Cumberland Farms on Federal Street
Foster’s

- The stickers will be in two colors to differentiate the cost:
- $2.00 for 30-33 gallon “trash” bags – Bright Yellow
- $1.25 for 13 gallon “tall kitchen” bags – Bright Pink
- Bags are to be drawn closed and the sticker is to be placed around the “neck” of the bag.
- The stickers clearly state the size and weight limits. If someone attempts to use a large bag (30-33 gallons) and only puts the $1.25 sticker on it, the collectors will not collect the bag. In fairness to all, this policy will be strictly enforced.
- No bag, regardless of size, will be collected if it weighs over 30 pounds. The collectors make 450-550 stops per day and in order to prevent injury, the 30 lb weight limit must be adhered to.
- Residents can use any color or brand of bag they wish – “cinch” bags, “ultra flex”, scented etc. Bags larger than 33 gallons and “contractor” bags will not be collected.
- There will be no expiration on the PAYT bags that we are currently using. Residents will be able to use them until their supply is exhausted.
- The Town will continue to sell the $0.50 “mini” bags which are popular with the elderly and our “super recyclers”.
**The "mini" bags will continue to be a 8 gallon green bag and is available at Foster's, Stop and Shop, Wilson's, and the Town Hall Customer Service Center.
