Every year, we handle hundreds of tons of material. We’re working to protect our watershed, conserve resources, reduce waste, and strengthen our community. We accomplish a lot with a small staff and an extraordinary volunteer community. As a nonprofit, we work hard to be as self-sufficient as possible, but additional financial support helps us do even more. Your donation helps us expand educational and community outreach, improve our operations, and strengthen the systems that help us manage volunteers and increase our environmental impact. Every contribution makes a difference. Thank you for being part of what makes this work possible!

Watch for weather closings.  We will be open during the rain.  Should a particularly strong storm pop up while we are open we may suspend service and shelter in place until the worst passes.

As part of our standard process, we ask EVERYONE to show proof of residency.  Please bring a driver’s license, state ID, utility bill or another official document with your current address, matching the name on your ID.   Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Residents of Boylston, Holden, Paxton, Princeton, Rutland, Sterling and West Boylston may use the Wachusett Watershed Regional Recycling Center during our public hours for drop off, pickup and ‘shopping’.  Everyone must go through Check In.  We track participation for the towns.

If you’d like to check before packing to visit us, check here,  our Facebook page or call us at 978-464-2854 for messages if we’ve had to close.
