Garbage Collection:
The Town of Prescott has a residential ´garbage bag´ system. The Town´s designated hauler will collect only residential waste in approved bags.
The curb-side pick-up is each Tuesday. Please check the website or newspaper for any changes when the Tuesday falls on a statutory holiday.
