Responsibilities
The Solid Waste Division is responsible for the curbside collection of recycling and trash for residents and for municipal and school buildings. The division is also responsible for managing the Town's Solid Waste contracts, which include the curbside collection of trash, leaves and recyclables.
The Town's trash is brought to the Covanta waste-to-energy facility in Haverhill. For more information about this facility, visit

The division also manages the one-day special collections for
Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) and
Electronic/CRT recycling.
