Who can use it

The official Trash and Recycling page says you may bring recyclables to the Recycle Depot and must present proof of residency if requested. Yard-waste drop-off at the Depot is described as residents only, with no contractors or landscapers. (508) 580-7827 is the Refuse / Recycle Depot number on the official page. 508-580-7135 is the DPW number listed with City Hall.

Price: Official pages conflict on recycle-cart pricing: the Trash and Recycling page says recycle carts are available for $55.00 at the Recycle Depot (cash or check payable to City of Brockton, or ordered online). The Trash and Recycling Guidelines page says recycle bins are available free of charge at the Recycle Depot. Confirm at the Depot before you go.

Where to buy: Recycle Depot, 300 Oak Hill Way, or online as linked from the official page. Green Brockton pay bags are sold at local retailers, City Hall, or the Recycle Depot.

Hazardous waste

The Recycle Depot accepts hard-to-manage waste such as antifreeze, mercury-containing items, tires, car batteries, and propane tanks. The Depot also hosts a Hazardous Waste Day each year in September. Liquid paint is accepted daily only April 1 through October 31. See the official pamphlet for the full list.

Holiday closures

The official Trash and Recycling page's Holiday Schedule wording is about curbside collection (closed on the actual day of the holiday, with remaining weekdays delayed one day and Friday collected on Saturday). That curbside calendar is not applied here as Recycle Depot hours, except where the official page separately says the Recycle Depot itself is closed. A Veterans Day notice on the same page said the Recycle Depot would be closed Wednesday, November 11, 2026 (already passed). Confirm with the Recycle Depot at (508) 580-7827 before Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's week.

Other notes

Official typo on the clothing-donation paragraph: "St. Vincent du Paul." Official typo on a yard-waste heading: "Dont trash grass Flyer."
Clothing donation bins for Salvation Army, Big Brother Big Sister, St. Vincent du Paul (official wording), and Red Cross are on site at 300 Oak Hill Way. The official page says torn, stained, broken, or incomplete textiles can still be donated.
The official 2025-2026 Recycling and Trash Guidelines flyer also lists Recycle Depot hours as year-round Monday through Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and says proof of residency is required upon request. Holiday notes on that flyer are collection-delay calendars, not a dated Recycle Depot closure list, except as separately posted for the Depot.
A Recycle Depot pamphlet with the full accepted-item and fee list is linked from the official Trash and Recycling and Docs and Forms pages; item-by-item drop-off fees were not copied from an older pamphlet in this update.
