Town Hall

 

The Town Council has received complaints when functions are going on at the town hall the hall is not being cleaned when the events is over. This is unacceptable; the hall is cleaned once a month and the charge for cleaning is split between the town and Seniors 50+ Club. If the hall is not kept clean there will be additional charges applied for renting the hall to of set the additional cleaning charge. For people renting the hall for birthday parties, baby showers, adult parties, the key has to be returned the following day, if this continues to be a problem like it has it the past, there will be a charge for every day the key is not returned.

 

Waste Management

 

The Long Range Waste Management Site is now open to the public Tuesday to Saturday from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm. 

We would like to remind residents that there is a limit of six bags per household.

You are not permitted to put your bags of garbage in another household container.  We are receiving complaints that people are putting their waste in other people’s containers without permission.  This is not permitted.  If there is more than one household in one container inform the town office so they can notify the garbage collector.
