New trash rules go into effect July 1
TOWNSHEND — TOWNSHEND - As of July 1, all household garbage taken to the compactor must be in the new Town of Townshend bags.
The 33-gallon purple bags will cost $2.50 each this year. They may be purchased from the Town Clerk, Riverbend Market, Harmonyville Store, and the West Townshend Cafe.
Recycle bins will, of course, still be available for household recyclables. No cash will be taken at the compactor. If what one has to throw out will not fit in one of these bags, residents will have to use a private contractor, or take it to the Windham Solid Waste Management District transfer station in Brattleboro.
Tax grievance day is June 3
TOWNSHEND - Grievance day for this year has been set for Wednesday, June 3, starting at 9 a.m., at the Town Hall.
This will be the only opportunity for homeowners to grieve the appraised value of their property. It is not an opportunity to grieve one's taxes, only the assessed value of one's property. Contact the Listers for additional information well prior to the day of grievances.
