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.

Residents who request an additional toter, prior to Sept.13, can expect to receive it within the next three weeks. Requests received after Sept.13 will be shared with Casella on a rolling basis and delivered within three weeks or so of the date of request.

Pittsfield Cannabis Cultivator Plans Dispensary

PITTSFIELD. Mass. — A cannabis cultivator and manufacturer has opted to sell its products on site in Downing Parkway.

The Zoning Board of Appeals this month approved a special permit for J-B.A.M. Inc. to operate a dispensary out of its existing grow facility. There will only be changes to the interior of 71 Downing Parkway, as there will be less than 500 square feet of retail space in the 20,000-square-foot building.

"My only concern would be the impact, and really would be traffic, which I don't think is excessive, the odor, if there was one, but that doesn't seem to be an issue, and I think it's a good location for a marijuana facility," board member Thomas Goggins said.

The company's indoor cultivation site plan was approved in 2019, an amendment to add manufacturing and processing in 2021, and on the prior day, a new site plan to add a retail dispensary was approved by the Community Development Board.

J-B.A.M. cannabis products are available in local dispensaries.

The interior of the facility will be divided to accommodate an enclosed check-in area, front entrance, retail lobby, secure storage room, offices, and two bathrooms. There are 27 parking spaces for the facility, which is sufficient for the use.

No medical or recreational cannabis uses are permitted within 500 feet of a school or daycare, a setback that is met, and the space is within an industrial park at the end of a cul-de-sac.

"The applicant desires the restructuring of the business to be more competitive in the industry with the ability to grow and sell their own cannabis products so they have more financial stability," Chair Albert Ingegni III, read from the application.
