Saturday, June 18 Household Goods will be onsite for another furniture collection event. See the post below or check their website for details on what can be accepted for free. Office furniture and medical/electric beds cannot be accepted. Any furniture not accepted can be left with us for the usual fee.
Welcome! We accept curbside recycling items, textiles and many hard to recycle items (some with a fee), but we also have tons of free items for reuse. We hold document shredding, latex paint and household hazardous waste collection events a few times per year for residents of our member towns: Boylston, Holden, Paxton, Princeton, Rutland, Sterling and West Boylston. Read on for more information, send us a message, give us a call, or check out our Facebook page.
We are NOT a transfer station or brush dump. DEP regulations prohibit us from accepting kitchen/picnic/food trash or lawn/brush waste or creosote lumber.
