Good morning! We are happy to say that Garrett and Danny will continue to be Isle au Haut's Trash and Recycling connoisseurs for another year. Pickup will continue to be on Sundays, a full schedule is posted at both the Town Hall and Store, as well as the town website. The trash guidelines are also on that schedule.

A few reminders about trash. NO food in trash bags, diapers must be double bagged after waste has been removed, and glass jars and cans must be cleaned prior to putting out for pickup. Lastly, soda cans or wine bottles or anything with a 5 cent return DO NOT go out for trash, those are returnable and can be redeemed at various locations throughout Maine.

Thank you Danny and Garrett!

If you haven’t already, go check out the fresh paint at the Town Hall. The painting crew was able to finish up in just 4 days. Our Selectboard and Treasurer also put some elbow grease in and got the stage and office stairwell sanded and painted. Could some new stage curtains be next? Who knows….

ANNUAL TOWN MEETING:
A reminder that the Annual Town Meeting will take place on April 27th, at 8:30 AM, at Revere Memorial Hall. There will be a potluck lunch, so bring a dish to share if you can. We will also have a coffee and baked goods table setup as usual. This year any donations will go toward replacing the stage curtains.

The attested Town Meeting Warrant will be posted on bulletin boards at least 7 days prior.

Town Hall Gymnasium Closure Notice:
The Town Hall gymnasium will be closed to the public while being painted, from April 13 through April 19.
Town officials will continue to have access to the stairwell in order to access the Town Office upstairs. Community members may also access the gym area during Tax Collection Hours on Wednesday from 7:00–8:00 PM in order to get to the office upstairs.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but this will ensure our painting crew is not disrupted and can efficiently get the job done.

Please email a Selectboard member if you have any questions.
Happy Spring!
