Bi-Weekly Yard Waste

The weekly curbside collection of yard waste within the Town of Cumberland will end on June 11, 2021.  However, yard waste collection will continue on a bi-weekly basis during the summer season beginning on Monday, June 21, 2021.  The townwide collection of yard waste every two weeks will continue until September 24, 2021.  The weekly collection of yard waste will again resume on October 4, 2021.  An updated fall collection schedule will be published at a later date.

Yard waste is defined as grass clippings, leaves, vegetation, and small branches. No trash, stones, or sand can be mixed in with your yard waste. Bags found with these unacceptable materials or other debris and refuse will not be collected.

Applying for a Marriage License

It is strongly recommended that you call ahead to make an appointment.

At that time, our staff we’ll review with you the required documentation.  If possible, we ask that all required documentation (MARRIAGE REQUIREMENTS) be emailed to us in advance in order to prepare the license for your review prior to coming to Town Hall.

  • Complete the marriage worksheet.  Please do not sign until you are here, and we witness your signature.
  • Driver’s Licenses and or valid passport.  If the license shows an address other than your Cumberland address, you will be required to provide alternate documentation showing your Cumberland address such as utility bill, bank statement, etc.

  • Certified Copy of the Final Divorce decree from the Court is required, if either party have been divorced.
  • The license is good for 90 days from the day you both sign here at Town Hall.

2021 Hydrant Flushing Schedule

The 2021 Hydrant Flushing schedule can be found here.

The Cumberland Water Department will begin our Hydrant Flushing Program. This is a semi-annual procedure to remove the bulk of the accumulated sediments in the water mains.  While hydrant flushing is occurring in your area you may experience some discolored water, as well as lower than normal pressure. If you experience rusty water, run your cold water for a short time to clear lines.

We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

Message to the Town of Cumberland

Upon the advice of Governor Gina Raimondo and the Rhode Island Department of Health, I have determined that extraordinary measures must be taken to reduce the spread of the Covid-19.

At this time, Town Hall is open to the public with hours will be from 9 to 12 and 1 to 4.  Anyone entering the building will be asked to sign in and wear a mask/face-covering. A drop box located at the ADA ramp entrance on the side of Town Hall is available to accept payments and to process requests for information. We ask that all members of the public looking to do business in the Town Clerk’s Office or the Vault make appointments to ensure proper distancing.

If there is anything our office can do to be of service to you, please contact my Community Outreach Coordinator, Sarah King at 401-728-2400 x132.

We appreciate your patience during this challenging time. I firmly believe that we are better together. Our collective strengths as individuals and as a town will see us through this crisis.

Be well.

Thank you,

Mayor Jeff Mutter
