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 their page on the Mass DEP Website.

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

Curbside Regulations

Trash and recycling items are to be curbside by 7 a.m. on your scheduled pick up day. Please keep in mind that the truck routes do not have specific times for pickups during the day and may vary from week to week. For pickup schedules and more information, please refer to the Recycling and Trash Collection Guide (PDF).
