    Residents are reminded that collection crews will not pick up furniture, appliances, electronics, loose material or household chemical waste.

Row is open Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturday’s from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. for the self disposal of garbage, red and blue box recyclables, cardboard, appliances, renovation material, tires and yard waste.
