Section 8: Fees
8.1 Curbside recycling:
There is no fee for disposal of approved recyclables at the curbside, and no limit to the number of recycled items provided the homeowner participates in our trash program as well. The Board of Health reserves the right to bill a homeowner who chooses to set out recyclables only. Failure to pay the assessed fee will result in termination of the recycling service for that household.
8.2 Residential refuse:
8.2.1 For each container, bag or item of household refuse or Large Object placed at curbside, a valid sticker must be purchased and attached to each item as described in Section 5.1.1 through 5.1.6. Stickers are provided by the Board and are sold at the Maynard Town Building during regular office hours and at various stores in Maynard. A list of stores selling stickers can be obtained from the office of the Board. The cost of the sticker is determined by the Board of Health and may be modified from time to time to offset the cost of curbside refuse collection.
8.2.2 The number of stickers required on the additional item or Large Object is indicated in sections 5.1.4 through 5.1.6 of this Regulation..
