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.

Site Closing:   Whenever we are experiencing extreme weather, please check here, Google Business, our Facebook page or call to hear our outgoing message on our phone line to find out if we’re open.

Site Entry: Everyone must go through Check In.  Please have your face masks on as you approach the Check In station.  You may remove it while outside.

ReUse Building Entry:  Masks must be worn inside the ReUse building.   We currently allow 20 people into the building for 15 minutes at a time.

ReUse Building Drop Off:  Drop off is at MIBOX unit along the exit road.   Items MUST be in boxes with closed lids.  Please read the post below: ReUse Building.

These little boxes came in yesterday... there are two cardboard boxes full of them. We are not absolutely sure what they might be good for but feel confident that they are good for something! Do you have a use for them? Maybe making craft kits? We don't know! Message us if you want them! (Free, of course!)
