Bring out your trash!**

[on-reserve.livejournal.com]

Better throw your trash away before January 1st!

# Trash stored in other non-regulation barrels or unapproved containers will be considered bulk items: they will be disposed of, but will be considered in violation and ticketed appropriately.

Containers put out for pickup may not exceed 50 pounds when full;

What counts as trash? Does furniture? What about furniture too large to fit in an approved container? What constitutes and approved container? Will landlords be required to supply these new approved containers?

How would you know if your trash exceeds 50 pounds if the container is on wheels? Again what about a heavy piece of furniture or other trash? Now what? Is there a place to bring it to if it won't be picked up?

**In an approved container.

I know neither me or my girl saw any such flyer. My landlord (who lives downstairs) told us about it, but only really pointing out what we were doing that needed changing. It would make sense that if flyers were sent, they would be sent to those who are listed as the property owners as they would be the ones ultimately responsible to the city (though I am sure if my landlord got ticketed for something one of us did, he would surely make us cover the cost!) This announcement may have gone in the Somerville Journal, but if you you don't read it you don't see it.
