Who can use the recycling center?

The site is available to anyone who wishes to use it, including residents who have not yet started Town service and those who live in multi-family communities.

What is not accepted?

It is a wonderful resource for residents but recently they've been closed the past 3 weeks so there has been no good place to dispose of large bulky cardboard. Hopefully they will empty the containers and reopen soon

Something every town and city should have especially since so many people do online shopping now. Great to be able to take a bunch of boxes or glass or cooking oil down to a easy to access location and get rid of them .
