West Boylston Recycles!
Note: For a limited time, the Town of West Boyston is providing compost bins to our residents at a reduced cost. Please see the link for "Compost Bins" above.
The Town of West Boylston provides curbside trash pickup and curbside recycling for all households with Municipal Trash Collection through our contractor, Allied Waste Services. Recycling reduces the amount of trash that must be brought to transfer stations and landfills and directly lowers the cost of trash collection for the town. We encourage you to participate in curbside recycling.
Please put all trash and recyclables out to the street by 7AM on the morning of your scheduled pickup. When your scheduled collection day falls on a holiday, that day's collection - and all subsequent collections that week - will be delayed one day. Friday's collection will be on Saturday. Please check the Trash & Recycling Calendar for more information.
