Textile and Mattress Recycling

Starting 11/1/22 textiles (fabric items) and mattress/boxspring items will be considered waste ban "Illegal" items in Massachusetts. This means they cannot be placed out with your normal curbside collection, and they need special disposal arrangements. For more information, please refer to the MassDEP website:

Why was my cart missed?

To make sure your carts (barrels) get picked up, follow these rules. Carts must:

  • be out the night before your service day
  • be against or at the edge of the curb
  • at least an arm's length from any vehicle and not behind anything (pole, other cart, vehicle etc.)
  • have closed  (sealed) lids
  • be less than 100 pounds - the trucks have weight limitations on what they can pick up!

If your trash or recycling carts are given rejection stickers, the carts are in violation of one of the above rules or contain items that do not belong in that cart. Please do not report a miss if your carts are in violation of any of the above rules, or have rejection stickers.
