No, the monthly Town fee for solid waste (trash, recycle, yard waste, etc.) has not changed. However, we understand some people have seen other amounts on their bills from MLGW.
We are assured those amounts are to correct previous billing errors; however, should you think your average 1-year Solid Waste cost exceeds our rate - give Town Hall a call and we'll research your records.
Our LED streetlight conversion is underway and roughly 55% of Town lights have been now been converted. They started with more commercial roads, but you may now see Ameresco staff working in our residential neighborhoods.
