Who can use it
The official Solid Waste page says the Town Recycling Area is located at the Department of Public Works, 3 Spragueville Rd., Smithfield, RI 02917. The official Recycling Information page says Smithfield residents can bring flattened cardboard to that site. Confirm current access rules with the Recycling Coordinator at (401) 233-1034, ext. 205.
Hours
- Official hours conflict: the official Recycling Information page says cardboard drop-off is available during hours of operation Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The same official page says old green or blue recycle bins can be dropped off at DPW from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The official Solid Waste page lists Public Office Hours as Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. All three official statements are shown. Confirm current drop-off hours at (401) 233-1034, ext. 205.

Other notes
- Facts from the official Town of Smithfield Solid Waste (Trash and Recycling) page and Recycling Information page, fetched November 12, 2026. Mail for the department is 64 Farnum Pike, Smithfield, RI 02917, which is not the Recycling Area address. Official typo/formatting on the Recycling Information page splits the Recycling Coordinator email around recycle@smithfieldri.gov.
- The official Solid Waste page says the Town provides recycling options at DPW including electronics, bulk rigid plastics, waste motor oil, scrap metal, cardboard, and overflow mixed recycling, and maintains a medium-scale compost site. Compost bins are available to residents for $45 each at Public Works, 3 Spragueville Road (behind Dave's Towing Service), per the official Recycling Information page.
- Flattened cardboard may be up to 5 feet in length. Old green or blue recycle bins should not go in the yellow-lid cart and can be dropped off at DPW. Special events for mattresses and box springs, clothing and textiles, document shredding, and plastic bag or film are mentioned as scheduled events, not standing daily drop-off.
- (401) 233-1034, ext. 205, is the Recycling Coordinator number. Official email recycle@smithfieldri.gov.
