Revere is offering up to eight free stickers for the curbside removal of white goods and bulky items for residents whose personal property was damaged from flooding after the January 4 snowstorm.
The stickers can be obtained at the Inspectional Services Department at the American Legion Building on Broadway. They can be used through Friday, January 26. Without the free program, stickers range in price from $3 to $15, depending on the item.
“We realize that people incurred the loss of multiple items in the flood, and we hope that facilitating the removal of damaged property will ease the burden these residents endured,” said Mayor Brian Arrigo in a statement. “These residents are confronted with the need to clear out flooded basements, and by waiving the fee requirements we lessen the financial aspect of their cleanup.”
The temporary fee waiver does not alter the prohibition of curbside removal for some items such as computers, televisions, paint cans, tires, light bulbs etc., which must be taken to the Department of Public Works facility on Charger Street.
Items bearing a sticker can be placed for removal on regularly-scheduled trash removal days.
