We will have a delay of trash pickup on Johnson Street today between Mill Road and Route 114 due to a fallen tree.  The contractor will not be able to complete that route today but will be back tomorrow once the tree has been cleared.

Starting Friday, October 14, 2022, the Town’s contractor PJ Albert will be repaving and reconstructing Abbott Street from Johnson Street to Thistle Road.  Construction will include roadway milling, reclaim, subgrade preparation, raising of castings, and placement of asphalt binder and top course.  Construction is expected to take 2 weeks to complete, weather permitting.  Delays should be anticipated if travelling in this area.

As of November 1st of this year, the MassDEP waste ban will go into effect which will no longer allow Mattresses, Box Springs or Textiles to be collected under the Town’s curbside trash collection program.  These items will now need to be recycled separately.

 

Mattresses and Box Springs – If you have a mattress or box spring that you need to recycle, residents can contact the Town’s vendor, UTEC, by visiting https://utecinc.org/mattress-recycling/ and click on 'Schedule Service.'  Select 'North Andover' to schedule a curbside pickup from UTEC, or select 'Drop Off' to make an appointment to drop off at their Lawrence facility.   The fee for this service will be $40 per item.  Residents can also schedule a drop off appointment by calling UTEC at 978-856-3997.  Residents are free to use other private recycling options if they so choose.

 

Textiles/Clothing – Residents can drop off these items at the Sustainability Committee’s clothing box located at the Holt Road Transfer Station or there are other private drop off boxes located throughout the town.

 

Please note Residents are responsible for all associated costs.

Starting tomorrow Thursday October 13, 2022, the Town’s contractor FP Reilly will be replacing the existing 36-inch drainage culvert on Mablin Avenue.  One travel lane will be open during construction.  Construction is expected to take 2 weeks to complete.  Delays should be anticipated if travelling in this area.
