As of November 1, 2022, the MassDEP waste ban went into effect which no longer allows Mattresses, Box Springs or Textiles to be collected under the Town’s curbside trash collection program. These items will now need to be recycled separately.
 

Mattresses and Box Springs – Residents can contact the Town’s vendor, UTEC and choose "Schedule Service" for curbside pickup for a $40 fee per item. 
Residents may also schedule a drop off appointment by calling UTEC at 978-856-3997. Residents are free to use other private recycling options if they so choose.

Textiles/Clothing – Residents can drop off these items at the Sustainability Committee’s clothing box located at the Holt Road Transfer Station or there are other private drop off boxes located throughout the town.

Please note Residents are responsible for all associated costs.
