Recycle Smart Guide

The Recycle Smart MA program was created by the Massachusetts DEP to provide residents with up to date information about what items should and shouldn’t be recycled.  The Town and other communities have joined the initiative whose website includes a downloadable Smart Recycling Guide and a searchable Recyclopedia that allows residents to search on hundreds of individual items about how they should be properly managed.  Please visit the Recycle Smart website and thank you for helping the Town and environment by generating clean recyclables and reducing disposal costs.
