TRASH BAGS - We are currently transitioning to a new supplier of the town trash bags. We are aware that some of the local vendors are delayed in making this transition, but we are hopeful that all the local carriers will have them back on their shelves this week! If you don't find them in one store, please visit any of the following who also carry the bags: Board of Health office, Town Library, Liquor Plus, Prime Gas station, Town Line Dairy Farm, Family Farms, Shaws of Milford and Price Chopper in Hopkinton

 Thank you for your patience!
