Other notes
- This is described as extra recycling disposal, not a general trash dump.
- Recycling Enforcement Coordinator Gregory DeRosa is listed at (978) 674-1828.
- The official page notes that starting November 1, 2022, textiles and mattress or box-spring items are Massachusetts waste-ban items and cannot go out with normal curbside collection; it points to MassDEP for special disposal arrangements. No on-site mattress drop-off hours are listed on the fetched page.
- Curbside yard-waste collection dates appear on the same page without a printed year (weekly March 17 through May 23, biweekly May 27 through October 10 opposite the recycling week, and weekly October 13 through December 19). Those are curbside notes, not hours for this drop-off container.
