TOWN HALL ENTRANCE REPAIRS

Please note that repair work on the front steps of Town Hall will begin the week of June 16.

While work is underway, the entrance to the building will be the side door on the main floor (off of the park between Town Hall and the old Fire Hall).

Thank you for your patience while we make these important repairs.

Urban Forest - Tree Planting Program open until June 30

The Town of Lunenburg is looking to continue to enhance our Urban Forest.

Some of the benefits of urban forests include filtering air and water, controlling storm water, and shade provided by the canopy. The Town is looking for property owners within Town Limits who are interested in having a new tree planted in front of their property, within the Town of Lunenburg’s right-of-way.

The goal for 2025 is to plant 50 trees. If you are interested in getting a tree, please send your address to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Staff will determine the suitability of the sites, by assessing above and below ground utilities, etc.

Let's Keep Lunenburg Clean!

We can all play a role in keeping our town looking sharp. One way is to make sure that household and commercial garbage are disposed of properly on the designated pick-up days.

If you missed your weekly pick-up, please do not leave your garbage and recycling by the public trash receptacles. These are for small items only and, as we host more visitors during the coming months, it is important to allow for increased usage (plus, it doesn’t look great).

If you are unsure of your solid waste collection dates, you can view the Town’s schedule - Garbage Collection - Town of Lunenburg

The Town of Lunenburg also has a FREE municipal compost site on Starr Street for your leaves, tree limbs, and garden waste:

Location: Starr Street Compost Site

Open Fridays | 1PM–4PM

Starting: Friday, April 25th until the last Friday in November

For Town of Lunenburg Residents Only

Thank you - your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
