Townsend

2020 Census: We are not done yet!

It’s not too late, and it is still essential to Townsend to respond to the 2020 Census while being safe and practicing social distancing at home. Once you have responded, please encourage your family, friends and loved ones to complete the census so we can get the resources we need to thrive. Currently, about half of our households have responded.  Half the response can mean half the resources for our community.  Take a few minutes and help shape our future by going to www.2020census.gov.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM WASTE INDUSTRIES (GFL)

The GFL staff is working hard to continue to provide support to our communities during this difficult time. The health of staff is very important.  We are doing everything we can to keep them safe while they do their jobs.  Even though staff is provided Personal Protective Equipment, we still need your help.  We are requesting that you place all of your waste inside trash cans to eliminate the need for the GFL Team team to touch the bags. For the same reason, we are asking residents to minimize the amount of bulk items that they put out.
