Trash Pick-up

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

Does anyone have a link or knowledge about Somerville's new garbage laws regarding things having to be in a trash barrel with a lid? I'm doing spring cleaning, and already I have much more than will fit in the house's barrels. Without a car I can't take it to a dump, and some of it is perishable stuff that will stink if left til the following week...

Thanks for any guidance.

Which contradicts (h)(1) on the same page ("shall cause the refuse to be placed in authorized refuse receptacles."), but I see your point.

Sorry for bickering about it.

I'm usually better at close reading than this, but every time I've tackled these regs they've sent me in circles.

Oh, I didn't think we were bickering -- just both being kind of amused while navigating the labyrinth of government regulations.

Perhaps, taking a cue from them, we too should have begun with two and a half pages defining any word we might use that could be confusing, such as "leaves" (b)(11). :)
