Trash and Recycling Helpful Information

Post it notes

Trash is collected weekly by Republic Services, Inc. All trash must be put in your town approved barrel. If you occasionally have extra trash, you may purchase trash stickers in the Town Clerk's office. Each sticker is to be used once and should be placed on a bag of trash. A sticker cannot be used on a barrel.

One bulk item is allowed per week. A bulk item is a piece of furniture, a lamp amd most small household items. Appliances, electronics and home construction debris are not bulk items.

Recycling is collected every other week. All of your recycling items must fit in your town approved barrel. If you have a lot of cardboard, you should flatten it out and bring it to the Public Works Garage at 144F Main Street at your convenience. There are "cardboard only" recycling dumpsters at that location.

Plaistow has a landfill which can be used to dispose of yard waste, brush amd many metal items. More information about the landfill is available on both the Trash & Recycling and Highway Department page of the website.
