FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
Trying to find out hours for a department? New to town? Looking for other information that the Town Clerk might answer? Take a look at this list of general, frequently asked questions. Maybe yours is on the list. You also might find your questions answered in the FAQS pages for specific departments.
GETTING INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY
How do I get involved in town activities and events? Plympton's government relies mostly on volunteer efforts from the citizens, and citizen involvement is always welcome. If you would like to get involved, you can start by contacting the Board of Selectmen, who can advise you of committee and board openings and other needs.

TRASH REMOVAL
I just moved into town. What do I do about trash removal? Is there Town trash pickup?...A Town Dump? No, the Town does not collect trash. However, for the cost of a Plympton resident Transfer Station Sticker, you can bring your trash to the transfer station (the Town's alternative to a dump) or consult local phone directories for private pick-up agencies. What IS a transfer station? What kind of trash is taken there, and what is rejected? If a holiday falls on dump--that is, transfer station day, does it open
the next day?
LIBRARY
When is the library open? What activities for adults or children does the library sponsor?
BUILDINGS & INSPECTIONS
I have a building project I'd like to pursue. How do I find out about inspections and permits? Depending on the project, you will need to contact different inspectors and potentially other offices, as well. One good first step is to contact the building inspector, who can then advise you on the permitting process. Additions, repairs, and new construction (even of some outbuildings), for example, require building permits with signatures from other departments, and the building inspector can provide information on these requirements. However, if you know that your project is limited to wiring, gas or plumbing work, you might want to directly contact the electrical inspector or gas and plumbing inspector, respectively. BOARDS & COMMITTEES
How can I contact the heads of boards and departments, such as the Board of Selectmen, Planning Board, Conservation Commission, or other boards? How do I find out the boards' hours and usual meeting schedules?
