Specifications include, but are not limited to: The towns in the Town Consortium provide residents and smaller volume businesses whose trash can be placed in individual containers curbside with regular weekly collection of refuse, recyclables, yard waste and special collections of larger, bulky items and appliances. The current regular day for collections in the majority of the towns is Wednesday; although, it is Monday and Thursday in one town. (See Attachment 1 for details). While strong preference will be given to Proposals that maintain the existing collection schedule in each town, proposals will be considered for a different day of the week. The Town of Haymarket may desire to have a second weekly refuse collection. The Proposals shall be based upon one collection per town per week, with an additional fee for a second weekly refuse collection for the Town of Haymarket if desired. In addition, while preference will be given to Proposals that collect and dispose of yard waste separately from refuse collections, proposals will be considered for handling refuse and yard waste as a single collection.
