The town also offers many on-line services, and contact information that can be found by going to www.burrillville.org and clicking the “Online Services” link at the bottom of the home page.
The Town Clerk’s office will accept land evidence recording by appointment only. Those who can send land evidence in the mail, are asked to do so, or to call the Town Clerk’s office about making an appointment.
The Burrillville Police Department is open for business on their normal business schedule and police operations are not impacted.
The Public Works Department announced on Wednesday that trash and recycling collection remains on schedule. The Whipple Avenue Recycling and Compost center will retain normal business hours, but the department itself is closed to the public.

“The Burrillville Town Council and Administration thank you for your patience while we all work through the COVID-19 nation-wide emergency,” Wood wrote.
Residents are reminded that plans and schedules are subject to change.
