Let’s work together to make our town shine!

The  plan is, residents can pick up trash bags at the town offices the week before, fill the bags over the weekend, tie them up and leave them on the side of the road and the fire department will pick them up. I have already purchased two size yellow bags ( smaller bags for smaller people) 16 and 30 gal. My hope is if every home filles one or two bags we can get most of the trash.

The Windsor Free Public Library is looking to add 4 more people to our Board of Trustees. We meet over Zoom, they work with Katherine the Director on various library related topics and here is a link to check out exactly what a Trustee does.

Berkshire Community Action Council (BCAC)’s Heating Fuel Assistance Program can help income eligible households with their heating bill. The program is accepting applications now through April 30th.

All Windsor residents and businesses are eligible to join the electricity Municipal Aggregation Plan. This plan enables the Town to combine the purchasing power of its residents and businesses to provide them with an alternative to Eversource Basic Service (M.G.L. c. 164, § 134). This is a voluntary program. For an up-to-date comparison of the rates offered through the Plan versus the Eversource basic rate, click on this link. Additional information is available from the Green Committee.

We have been notified by Colonial Power that, beginning in February 2025 and extending for a few months, the municipal aggregation rate for Windsor will actually be higher than the Eversource basic rate. Eversource will be 0.11719  ($/kWh) compared to Colonial 0.12520 ($/kWh). This will possibly change in the spring after a new round of bidding. For those interested in opting out of municipal aggregation for that period of time, please visit https://colonialpowergroup.com/windsor/ or contact Mark Cappadona at Colonial Power--508-485-5858.
