The Water, Highway and Parks & Cemetery Departments share this site to provide information to the public. The departments are funded, operated and managed separately but often share equipment and resources. Each department is overseen by an elected board of three residents. Board members typically serve three year terms with one member being elected each year.
The Topsfield Composting Center will open for the season on April 2, 2011. The Composting Facility is located at the Public Works Facility on Boston Street. There is a fee to drop off leaves and yard waste. Residents can go to the Selectmen's Office in Town Hall and purchase a Compost Access Ticket for $5.00. Each Ticket will allow the disposal of up to 2 cubic yards (a standard body pick up truck) of material per visit. Each visit will require a separate access ticket.
New for 2011 is the availability of a seasonal sticker! The cost is $45 and they can be purchased at Town Hall.
The Compost Center is open and staffed on Saturdays from 9 AM to 1 PM only. No weekday drop-off is permitted unless prior arrangements have been made. Any additional information can be obtained by calling the Highway Dept. at 978-887-1542.
