Pittsfield Shares Updated Delivery Schedule for Toters

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The new residential curbside trash and recycling rollout has launched. The City of Pittsfield announces an updated schedule of delivery for the new toters for residents to receive them in time for the first pickup.
 
There are approximately 3,500 toters being delivered for each collection route. Casella will begin delivering toters for each route earlier than expected. For each route going forward, delivery of toters will begin four business days prior to the start of the pickup.
 
For example, residents who have Thursday collection routes will start to see their recycling toter delivered beginning tomorrow, Friday, Sept. 13 for the first pickup on Thursday, Sept. 19. For trash toters, residents will begin to receive their toter on Friday, Oct. 18 for a pickup on Thursday, Oct. 24.
 
Delivery will continue over those four days until every household receives their designated toter, so we ask residents to be patient if they do not receive their toter on the first day of delivery.
 
Here is a detailed schedule.
 
There is no need for residents to be home to receive their carts. As part of the delivery, carts will include additional instructions for placement as well as a calendar and frequently asked questions. As a reminder, there are no changes to the collection day. If a resident currently has trash and recycling collection on a Monday, they will continue to have collection on Mondays.
