Or visit our weather station (external link) Hired by Select Board Description The highway department is responsible for maintenance of town roads - about 30 miles of paved roads, 25 miles of unpaved roads, and 5 miles of unmaintained roads. Maintenance includes plowing snow, tree removal, grading dirt roads, mud mitigation, mowing, drainage and culverts. Notably, this does not include Route 9. Information With a small crew and dozens of miles of rural roads, we all know how reliant Windsor is on having passable roads. The highway crew often works late nights, early mornings, and weekends to keep the roads open. But they prioritize the biggest roads with the most traffic and residents. While they aim to plow snow and respond to problems within 24 hours, the reality is that sometimes it takes longer. If you have a special need or there is an unusual circumstance, feel free to contact the Highway department, but please be patient. Mud in the spring can be particularly challenging. They are aware of wet areas, and are working on improving drainage, adding stone, etc. But the reality is that there is only so much that can be done for some roads. In 2021, the Select Board approved a new set of Snow Policies [pdf]. Permits Some kinds of work may require road related permits Driveway permit [pdf]: Required for installing driveway "aprons". $20 fee. Trench permit [pdf]: Required for digging trenches. $50 fee. Checks payable to "Town of Windsor" Road Closures and Construction These are the sections of roads are not plowed in the winter months. Signs will be placed at points of closure to alert drivers beyond that point.

We will now sell tags to be affixed to the trash going into the compactor. Each tag costing $1 entitles you to throw 33 gallons of trash (the amount you could previously get into a large blue bag.) You can choose to use large plastic bags, or you can use paper or other options. If you have 50 pound feed bags, dog food bags etc. two of them are equivalent to the 33 gallons. We still have quite a few of the smaller bags if you want to use them until they run out. This program has been successfully introduced in neighboring towns and residents have been pleased with having options to plastic bags. The tags will continue to be sold at the two general stores. A page of five stickers for $5. Simply attach the tag to whatever bags you choose to use. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the tags [pdf] Swap Shop (Windsor Mall) One person's junk is another's treasure! Visit the Swap Shop when you visit the Transfer Station.
