BURLINGTON, MA — Most waste pickup in Burlington is resuming, the town said. By Monday, Republic Services pickup of orange overflow bags, simple recycling bags and yard waste will all have resumed.

Bulk item and white goods pickup remains on pause, the town said.

Orange overflow pickup resumed Thursday, April 30, simple recycling bag pickup resumed Thursday, and yard waste pickup will resume Monday. Because yard waste will probably be unusually heavy, yard waste pickup will likely be delayed.
