Town of Richford Garbage Disposal
Attendant: Jesse Keener
The Town of Richford has a unique and cost efficient method of collecting it residents solid waste.
At the scheduled times, Residents can take their
trash to a waiting garbage truck, parked at the north end of the Highway Garage, have an attendant weight it, pay the per
pound fee and then place the garbage in the compactor.
This service is for Town of Richford
Residents only and is available on Wednesdays from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
This method of handling the residents solid waste has worked very well for many years.
Never attempt to leave trash/solid waste when an attendant is not on duty. Doing so is considered littering and
is controlled legally as such.
Residents do have the option of choosing to have their
trash/solid waste picked up by a private hauler, but they are responsible for contracting any private pick-up of solid waste.
