We WILL be open on Thursday Feb 20th from 2 to 4pm.   We’ve been clearing ice and snow, and will continue to do so, but be prepared for snow, icy and rough ground outside.   We’re hoping for more melting before we open but dress appropriately if you’ll be outside.  

WINTER Hours November through March: Tues 10am-noon; Thurs 2-4pm; 1st and 3rd Sat 9am to noon.   Residents of Boylston, Holden, Paxton, Princeton, Rutland, Sterling and West Boylston may use the Wachusett Watershed Regional Recycling Center.    SUMMER hours start in April through October Tues 9-11am; Thurs 4-6pm; 1st and 3rd Sat 9am to noon.  

We will NOT open if the heat index/feels like temperature will be in the single digits while we are open.  Please check here,  our Facebook page or call us at 978-464-2854 if we’ve had snow or icy weather within the last 24 hours to see if we’ve had to cancel open hours due to any weather or other complications.               

If you’d like to make a donation online to Wachusett Earthday please click here and click on the Donate button.  Your donation will help us to continue to improve the site, offer new options for recycling and better store and display items for reuse or transport them to other organizations.

Building drop off: You can drop off 2 boxes but they MUST close and MUST be 30 lbs or less.   We are going to start rejecting those that don’t meet this criteria.  We simply can’t manage the literal ton of material dropped off on each open day if it’s not packed correctly.  Thank you for your help.

Welcome! We accept curbside recycling items, textiles and many hard to recycle items (some with a fee).

We also have tons of free items for reuse throughout the site.

In addition, we hold document shredding, latex paint and household hazardous waste collection events a few times per year for residents of our member towns.  Read on for more information, send us a message, give us a call, or check out our Facebook page.   DEP regulations prohibit us from accepting trash or lawn/brush waste or creosote lumber.

Site Entry: Everyone must go through Check In.  We track participation for the towns.

ReUse Building Drop Off:  Drop remains at MIBOX unit along the exit road.   Items MUST be in boxes with closed lids.  Please read the post below for additional information about the: ReUse Building.
