FALL RIVER Mayor Paul E. Coogan’s office in conjunction with the Department of Community Maintenance announced this year’s annual Christmas amnesty trash collection week.
Due to the upcoming holiday, residents may generate excess trash needed to be put curb side for collection. For this reason during the week following the holiday, Dec. 28 through Jan. 3, residents may place excess bags outside of the carts.
Residents who are able are also encouraged to take advantage of the department’s overflow dumpster at its DPW Complex, located at 10 Lewiston St. Drop-off of overflow trash is free and provided year round, however residents are required to provide proof of city residence in order to take advantage of this service.
