More on Large Trash
Colin Higbie asked whether old electronics can be disposed on the large trash days this Saturday and Sunday. Selectboard Secretary Cathrine Souza confirmed that that transfer station will take them. But “you’ll need to ask about the fees depending on the item,” she says. Most big items (TVs, computers, monitors) bear a charge of $15.
If you have any questions, you can call Station Manager J.R. Defosse at 603-523-7952. And check out the transfer station page on the Canaan town website, here.

Town of Orange: Status on road grading

From Marcello Shelzi, Road Agent
Many residents have been inquiring about road grading. Road grading of Orange's dirt roads is currently scheduled through our contractor to begin at the end of May. The town does not have its own grader or other heavy equipment so your understanding throughout this year's particularly bad mud season has been much appreciated.
