BEWARE OF ERRORS ON RECYCLING MAILER

In yesterday's mail all Royalton residents should have received a glossy flier from Modern Recycling.

It's not junk mail -- make sure you read it and keep it, too, for future reference. It tells you what can go in the new totes which all residents should have by Wednesday and it features a calendar that tells you when you are supposed to put the totes roadside (the town is split into half and residents see pick-up every other week).

There is an error with the mailer, though!

THREE times on the mailer it says that pick-up begins on Wednesday, February 6th with A residents and B residents see pick-up on Wednesday, February 13th.

BUT, if you look at the calendar, it says the opposite.

I contacted town supervisor Jennifer Bieber regarding this and she said the calendar takes precedence.

So, ignore the date announcements located throughout the document and focus on the calendar. That means modified recycling pick-up begins on February 6th with B residents while the A residents see their first pick-up on the 13th.
