No collections will be made from stores, business houses, manu- facturing plants , professional buildings, or other commercial enterprises. 4. Items will be collected when set at the edge of the travelled way in approved containers by 6:30 A.M. on regular collection days. Workers are forbidden to enter into or trespass on any private property during their collections. If rubbish is not placed on the edge of the travelled way by 6:30 A.M. on regular collection days and the contractor has already driven by the residence the rubbish will not be picked up and the homeowner will be responsible for removing the rubbish from the roadway. - 5 . No collections will be made on the following legal holidays: New Year' s Day Washington' s Birthday Patriot' s Day Memorial Day Independence Day Labor Day Columbus Day Veteran ' s Day . Thanksgiving Day Christmas Day Collections will be one day late during the balance of the week in which the holidays fall. (e .g. If a holiday falls on a week day , the fifth day of collection will be Saturday. As an example, if a holiday falls on a Monday, Monday ' s collection will be made on .Tuesday; Tuesday' s on Wednesday , etc. ) CONTAINERS 1. Approved containers are "wet strength" two ply 50 lb kraft paper sacks of 30 gallon capacity, 1.5 mil thickness plastic bags of 30 gallon capacity or plastic , steel, aluminum or galvanized barrels of 30 gallon capacity and cardboard boxes of a similar capacity . People using barrels are cautioned that sub-zero temperatures and icing will result in the barrel having to be banged on the steel hopper of the truck which will probably result in split or dented barrels. 2. The Town discourages the use of cardboard barrels and cardboard boxes since once they become wet, they lose much of their strength. If these barrels, boxes or plastic bags are used and "fall apart" during collection then any rubbish left need not be picked up by the contractor . 3. The Town of Reading and the Contractor will not be responsible for any damage to barrels. People using barrels are doing so knowing that the above-damage will probably occur. 4. Size and Quantity Limitations Rubbish collection will consist of paper or plastic bags, cardboard boxes or barrel pickup. How- ever, only one (1) bulk item will be allowed per week, per residence . Any bag, barrel or box that is of such design or shape, or size that can not be handled by one man and weighs over 80 pounds will not be collected. 5 . Any brush cuttings or branches tied securely and bundled under 3 feet long and 18 inches in diameter and under 80 pounds will be collected and considered as one of the unlimited bags, barrels or boxes to be picked up at each residence. Leaf and lawn clippings are also considered as household rubbish and are con- sidered as one of the unlimited bags, barrels or boxes to be picked up at each residence . These Rules and Regulations were approved on May 26, 1981 and will be effective July 1, 1981. BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS Douglas A. Cowell , Chairman Gail F . Wood, Secretary Don B . DeHart John L .
