Holiday Trash & Recycling Schedule

Posted on: May 25, 2018 - 9:53am

Due to the Memorial Day Holiday, trash and recycling pick-up will be delayed by one day, all week.

Residents with Monday pick-up will have pick-up on Tuesday; residents who typically have Tuesday pick-up will have pick-up on Wednesday, and so on. Friday residents will have pick-up on Saturday. The Downtown District, however, will have Friday pick-up, as usual

Looking ahead, Independence Day falls on a Wednesday this year, so neighborhoods normally scheduled for Wednesday through Friday trash and recycling pickups will have their collections delayed by one day.

The Municipal Yard Waste Facility on Colby Farm Lane will NOT be affected by the Memorial Day Holiday.  It will be open on Saturday, May 26 and Tuesday, May 29 as usual. The Facility will, however, be closed on Wednesday, July 4.   The Yard Waste Facility is open Tuesdays through Saturdays, 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Residents may buy a sticker which gives them access to the Yard Waste Facility through the first weekend in December. (See the City website or Health Department brochure for more detail.)

The June drop-off day for recyclables will take place on Saturday, June 2. The July drop-off will be held on the usual first Saturday of the month, July 7. This is held at the Colby Farm Lane Recycle Center, off Low Street, between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. Residents may bring anything with a cord or batteries, appliances (large and small), anything metal (including grills and lawn mowers), rechargeable batteries, fluorescent bulbs, mercury thermometers and thermostats, white packing Styrofoam, tires, bicycles, motor oil, and antifreeze.

Our next household hazardous waste day will take place on Saturday, Sept. 22 for disposal of household chemicals. That will be located at the Department of Public Services at 16A Perry Way. There will also be a household hazardous waste day in Peabody, for residents and non-residents, on Saturday, June 23. See the City of Peabody website for details, or call 978-538-5926.

The FY 2018-2019 Health Department brochure, which includes the yearly trash and recycling calendar, will be mailed to each household in June. If you do not receive it, call us or view it on-line at www.cityofnewburyport.com.
