(FALL RIVER, MA- May 1, 2023)- The City of Fall River Department of Community Maintenance has
begun its first ever cart maintenance program to repair carts in the city in need of servicing. The program

is intended to lengthen the usable life of disposal carts and improve sanitary conditions in the city, as
components such as wheels, covers and lift bars become worn over time.

All carts belonging to your property should be placed curbside every collection day between May
1, 2023 and June 30, 2023 between the hours of 7:00am and 5:00pm, including trash, recycling and
yard waste carts. Over the duration of the program, DCM employees will inspect carts in each
neighborhood of the city to identify any damage. Any necessary repairs or replacements will be made on
the spot, with no inconvenience to the resident.

If you have a cart that needs attention or you have any questions please contact us at 508-324-
2585 or 508-324-3584 at the DCM office.
