Amnesty Trash Collection Week

(Fall River, MA- December 22nd, 2020)- Mayor Paul E. Coogan’s office in conjunction with the Department of Community Maintenance would like to announce this year’s annual Christmas amnesty
trash collection week.

Due to the upcoming holiday, we realize that residents may generate excess trash needed to be put curbside for collection. For this reason during the week following the holiday December 28th thru January 3rd residents may place excess bags outside of the carts during this week.

Residents who are able to are also encouraged to take advantage of the department’s overflow dumpster at its DPW Complex, located at 10 Lewiston St. drop off of overflow trash is free and provided year-round, however residents are required to provide proof of city residence in order to take advantage of this service.

Normal trash collection will resume the week of January 4th and residents are asked to return to following the normal collection guidelines. Thank you and we would like to wish all a safe and healthy holiday season.
