*Self-serve paper shredding*
COVID-19 update: Beginning November 10th, paper shredding will be pulled for the winter season. Covid cases are on the rise which places a greater risk to our community and staff. We apologize for this inconvenience, and will monitor the situation closely. We are currently looking into our mobile events and will post 2021 schedule within the next couple of weeks.
Requests: When dropping off a mattress, please stack them the tall way, and neatly pack them as tight as you can to save space.

About the Recycling Program
The Recycling Division is actively involved in recycling as mandated by the state’s Select Committee on Recycling and Environment (SCORE). This program is unique in that it is city operated, but funded from a State SCORE grant. Our focus is on residential and small business recycling and our programs are set up to help each with every aspect of recycling and waste reduction.
