Trash and Recycling Schedules
Recycling
Oakland receives grant money each year based on resident recycling habits. Even though we do well, we can always find room to improve/increase our recycling efforts. Please do your best to make a difference!
The Town has a compost/grass clippings area located behind the Town Hall. Grass clippings, leaves, garden waste, brush and branches can be dropped off. Wood chips and compost can be picked up as they become available. Curbside brush pick-up takes place every 3rd week of April and 3rd week of October.
