So called Casaella today they have not picked up my recycles for two weeks. I was told that oday is their last day of garbage pick-up. They also said they were going around this weekend to collect the recycle bins. Anybody aware of the change in garbage haulers and what days and who will be the new haulers?
-
I thought Chris Santee said we could keep our recycle bins.
-
This was announced about Duffy's getting the contract. I was told we would get a packet in the mail but I did not.
Here is the link and info on the Duffy trash pick ups on the town web site.

Casella took our blue bin on Friday. I called the town clerk's office this morning and they said Casella was not supposed to take them.
But in our case, they did!

Well, I will not be putting out my recycle this week then.
-
Our big garbage bin disappeared with the trash pick-up last week. Is this something that they would take??
-
No problems with my pick-up. My recycling bin wasn't taken. It does say "Town of Fairfax" on it and I've had it longer than Casella's been taking our trash, so maybe they're just taking bins they distributed?
-
Does anyone know if we can purchase recycle bins from Duffy's individually? I believe they have the larger bins with wheels, which would be extremely helpful in moving the recycling to the bottom of our driveway. The Casella truck that visited our end of the road was not compatible with those types of bins, so we relied on multiple blue box bins.
Thanks!
-
My recycle bin says Property of the Town of Fairfax, so should be all set.
-
Would have been nice to be informed when this change was taking place.....
-
Judi, I'm sure the Select Board would be happy to accept any questions you in writing and will discuss them during a secret meeting.
:)
-
Maybe they posted a notice on their website?
-
Not impressed with Duffy's so far. Called for an hour between 3-4 pm and all I got was voicemail. As of this posting (8:10pm) garbage and recycling still out front, this is to include the whole street.
-
Les,
I am sorry that this has happened, can you PM me your name and street address so I can call the hauler in the AM to let them know of the missed stop.

So just discovered that if you live on a private road a waiver has to be signed in order for Duffy's to pick up your garbage. I'm wondering why the town or Duffy's didn't disclose this prior to them starting up. The transition to Duffy's and the planning is laughable!

Visit the Town of Fairfax Web Site for Garbage:

Still confused why they picked up one week and not the next. Apparently our entire street was left in the dark with this information so it just wasn't me.
-
I would contact the Select Board to discuss. I have put the link below and if you click on their name many have a number to contact. Chris Santee is in the hospital, so please do not select him.

Also the bottom of the note about the Garbage for Private Roads says
Please contact the the Selectboard Office at Town Hall if you have further questions,

Just for the record....my garbage and recycle have been picked up without incident.
-
Mine as well Raz
-
Must be nice
-
Get the form signed or put it at the end of the road on a non private road, have no idea where you live, on the day your trash is to be picked up and your trash will be as well.
All the resources you need are in those two links.
-
Progress is in the works. Have been calling Duffy's since 2:30 pm. Have left several messages with no response. This is something that should have been taken care of prior to to the town signing a contract with them. (Getting your ducks lined up shall we say) As a tax payer and having to drive my trash to the end of the road when the previouis company was working just as well is unreasonable. I guess the town wants to save money and have residents drive their trash to the end of the road. NOT IMPRESSED!!!!!!!
-
I'm having good luck with Duffy's (and always have had to take my trash to the end of the private road for pick-up).
Hope things improve for those of you that are experiencing problems.
-
Good luck in getting someone at Duffys to pickup the phone or return a call. In my experience they aren't capable of doing either. We attempted go call them after the Wednesday pickup. Had to leave a message that still hasn't been returned. They took my garbage and recycling but other garbage or recycling fell off their truck on the other side of the street at the end of my road. It was still there this morning even thou we called them Thursday to come and get it.
-
FYI I just spoke with Joe from Duffy's. Anyone on Hunt St will not be having trash picked up tonight.
-
Maybe they will pick up the garbage by the school lot that fell off their truck last week.
-
Trash on Hunt Street, Cain Street, Fletcher Road North of JR Young's, and Comette Road will all get picked up today.
-
They missed my garbage on Wilkins Rd. Not a big deal, I'll put it back out next week. I just hope they get it next week.

I will pass that info on Corn.
-
Corm, they are on your road early. So make sure it is out there before 7:30am :-)
-
Is it possible to get approximate times of when they arrive at certain areas in town? I know we're supposed to have the trash out by 6:00, but realistically that would require me to put it out the night before- and during most of the year, there is a high probability that critters will get into it- which I'd like to avoid.
-
Great question Trevor. I will ask and see if they can give estimates as they are learning currently the time it takes from road to road right now. Roads that take longer and such. I will see what they can come up with.
-
Yes, knowing approximate pick up times would be great to know. I always try to put it out just a little before pickup time because I've had problems with critters gettting into it, especially the crows. They can make a mess in a hurry!
Thanks for your help
Corm
