Town Trash Bag Issues

Town Trash Bags Issues

I am reaching out to you today to let you know that the Selectboard is aware of and we are working on the various issues you are experiencing related to purchasing town trash bags. 

Waste Zero has informed me that tomorrow Price Chopper and Stop & Shop will be receiving their West Boylston trash bag orders. They have been dealing with delays associated with shipping and getting replenishment product up to Massachusetts.  This is a nationwide issue with weather, Christmas presents, and vaccines causing additional stresses on the shipping system.  In addition, there has been an increase in demand for the bags resulting in the stores running through product quicker.

We are also working on getting additional locations within the town to be a vendor site for residents.  The town has approved Wachusett Wine and Spirit and the Office of the Town Administrator/Selectboard at Town Hall to be vendors for our trash bags.  According to Waste Zero, those deliveries will be arriving by Tuesday, January 5, 2021.

The Shell Gas Station has recently installed a new computer system and they are experiencing an intermittent internal point of sale issue which is charging tax erroneously.  Corporate thought they had remedied that glitch and it appears that more work is needed on their end for the ultimate solution. 

I am very sorry for this inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we work together to get these issues resolved.

Best regards,

Nancy Lucier

Town Administrator
