HELP! My Item is too Large for my Weekly Trash Pickup!<br />

By Michele Taranto<br />

Now that 2021 is over and the long<br />

winter is ahead, many homebuyers use this<br />

extra time at home to clean out, maybe replace<br />

big items they said they would last<br />

year, or simply starting off the new year<br />

with a clean slate. The problem occurs,<br />

however, how to dispose of those large<br />

pieces?<br />

While the streamlined trash removal is<br />

both cost effective and simple, there are<br />

many things that no matter how you try,<br />

they just will not fit. Or, there are regulations<br />

on disposals that cannot be included<br />

in that weekly trash pickup. There is an<br />

answer.<br />

<strong>Norwood</strong> residents have the Compost<br />

Facility on Winter St. at their ‘disposal,’<br />

FREE of charge! On Saturdays, the site<br />

is available to receive those big items, or,<br />

curbside pickup is available. See below for<br />

instructions for both options.<br />

Winter St. Compost Facility Instructions<br />

Residents must have a yellow Compost<br />

Facility Resident Sticker to enter the facility.<br />

To obtain a sticker, please bring your<br />

vehicle registration to the DPW office<br />

There is no cost for the sticker and it does<br />

not expire.<br />
