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 curb side 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 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.
