STONE ARCH BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE:

Based on conversations with DOT representatives, we expect that the schedule for the next closure of the bridge may change to a shorter duration than expected.

More news on the bridge to come as soon as we have confirmation!

Please note the time change for any business that needs to be conducted. The trash and recycling schedule will remain the same for the week.

TOWN NEWS

Maintenance to the North Smithfield/Slatersville Water system will be performed on 

Monday, November 20th, from 9:00pm to 11:00pm.  This work may cause temporary reduction in water pressure throughout the water system. Some discoloration of water may occur. This is not harmful.  Department officials recommend limited water use during this operation, including water to wash clothes and dishes.  Check your water before use. If it is discolored, run the cold water until it clears.  Questions or concerns can be directed to the North Smithfield Water Department at 767-2200 x305.

Town Of North Smithfield Accepting

Used Motor Oil Again

The North Smithfield Highway Garage, 281 Quaker Highway, is now ready to accept used motor oil again at our facility.

Individuals can bring used motor oil and filters to the garage during our Saturday open hours of 9 am - 3pm.  Motor oil should be oil only and should not be mixed with water, gasoline or other liquids.

The highway garage also accepts scrap metal items, rigid plastic items (free of metal handles, bolts etc.) and for a short time, excessive yard waste residents have because of our recent wind storm.  Yard waste can be in brown lawn bags or loose, but branches must be less than 2 inches in diameter. 

Residents with larger branches from the storm, the town is offering chipping service until November 17th.  Branches up to 7 inches in diameter are accepted and long branches are fine.  For chipping, longer branches are easier to handle, so please to do not cut into small sections. 

Households needing chipping service can schedule service by calling the Public Works department, 767-2200 x 348. Leave the branches with the thick end to the street which  allows our crew to easily grab them.

For bags of yard waste, our town curbside yard waste pickup collection will continue until Friday, December 1^st.   This allows households to have yard waste in lawn bags or cans collected weekly right at their home.  Smaller bundles of branches under 2 inches in diameter and less than 3 feet are also allowed.
