CVS will sell special overflow bags

CVS, located at 451 Main Street, has joined the list of local retail businesses that sell special overflow bags for Wakefield’s automated trash collection program. Residents can use the overflow bags for weeks when they have excessive trash.
The overflow bags can be placed beside the automated container on the regular trash day. Only town designated overflow bags will be accepted, regular trash bags will not be picked up. Wakefield residents with municipal trash collection recently received one overflow bag via USPS mail.
Overflow bags are available for purchase at a cost of $10 for 5 (five) bags at the DPW Office and at several local stores including:
Farmland, 415 Main Street
Hart’s ACE Hardware, 442 Main Street
Shaw’s, 134 Water Street
Walgreens, 572 Main Street
CVS, 451 Main Street

Additional stores may be added in the near future.
For information about the automated trash collection program that began on September 29th call the DPW at 781-246-6301 extension 4120, or send an email to DPW@wakefield.ma.us.
