TRASH UPDATE:

UPDATE: Casella Trash Bin Delivery

After receiving a response from Casella today, we have some updates to share on the many questions and concerns from our residents. Casella has confirmed, that any errors or mis-deliveries should be straightened out by the end of this week. In no way, are any of the mis-steps in this roll-out process at the fault of our Select Board Members. Casella was provided a database of our addresses by the Town Office to use to create their own bin delivery schedule based on pick up needs. The Town Office has contacted Casella as we received notice from concerned residents to clear up errors in bin delivery.

1. If you received a bin, but should not have because you are on a small private road, Casella will be back to pick up the bin. Please leave it in a visible area.

2. If you have not received a bin, but should have, it should be sorted out with another round of deliveries this week.

3. This Friday, November 21, will your last regular curbside trash pick up as historically done. DO NOT use your new bin this week.

4. Tuesday, November 25th, will be the first day of new trash pick up service, please use your new bin if it applies to you.

5. All trash pick up service, for all residents, whether you live in area that uses a bin or does not, your new trash pick up day will be Tuesday.

6. A dumpster for cardboard disposal will be available at the Town Office in the near future. We will announce it’s arrival on our Town Facebook Page.

7. If you feel you may require a second bin to handle the amount of trash in your household, this will be addressed in the next few weeks. Please call the Town Office to add your name to a second bin request list we are compiling.

Town Bio

Clifton, a town in Penobscot County, incorporated on August 8, 1848 under the brazen name of “Maine” from a portion of Jarvis Gore. The current name, from a cliff dominating the town (see the town “seal” on the welcome sign), was adopted only a year later on June 9, 1849.

Clifton is a somewhat isolated town. Fitts Pond in the southwest corner provides water access for Boy Scout Camp Roosevelt located in adjoining Eddington.

There’s a hike on an old forest road and up a steep trail to the rocky summit of a mountain. The exposed granite face of Peaked Mountain, also known as Chick Hill, is visible for miles around. The views from the summit are some of the best in the area.
