Changes Coming Soon for Watertown’s Trash/Recycling Pick Up

By |

Watertown residents will see some changes to their trash, recycling and yard waste pick up starting in early December, with most people seeing small changes but some will have a whole new day of the week to put out their trash and recycling. The changes will begin the week of Dec. 11, and come as a result of the Town starting a new trash and recycling contract. The biggest chance with the new system will be five trash pick up days each week instead of four. The Department of Public Works and the trash/recycling pick up contractor Republic Services unveiled the new system for the Town Council this week.

The burglaries took place on Walnut Street and in a nearby home on Franklin Street. A Walnut Street resident came home from work on Nov. 22 around 7:45 p.m. to find the rear door wide open, and the window to a first-floor bedroom window was also open, said Watertown Police Lt. James O’Connor. “The bedroom was completely ransacked,” said O’Connor, who added that other rooms in the house had items disturbed. Approximately $2,500 in property was taken from the home, O’Connor said.

Victory Field Committee Makes Decision on Storage for Track Area

By |

Storage for the track area of Watertown’s Victory Field will be provided in a small storage building behind the football bleachers and on the track in a movable shed that will protect the pads for pole vault.

In one of the final meetings of the Victory Field Phase 2 Committee, held Nov. 21, the group recommendations group decided on storage options and to reorient the field. When the track is renovated and a new surface is installed, one end of the field will have a “D” made up of rubberized surface similar to the track surface. Originally, the D was going to be on the east side of the field – the far side from the football field. Last week, the Committee decided to flip the field so the D would be on the side closest to the football field.
