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 />

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