A Friendly Reminder About Town Hall Dumpsters

A Friendly Reminder About Town Hall Dumpsters
We’ve noticed an increase in items being placed in the dumpsters behind Town Hall. Just a quick reminder — these bins are for Town use only and not for public disposal.
To help manage this, the area is monitored by security cameras. We kindly ask for your cooperation in keeping this space clear and tidy.
If you’re unsure where to take your waste or recycling, we’re happy to help point you in the right direction! Visit https://www.vwrm.com/ for local disposal options.
Thanks for helping us keep Berwick beautiful!
