Recycle More!

Boston residents may now mix all recyclable materials together in one large container; it is no longer necessary to sort materials by type. More materials than ever before are now recyclable. The City will be delivering large wheeled recycling carts to residences with one to six units. Carts will be delivered neighborhood by neighborhood between June 2009 and June 2010. You will receive notification shortly before your cart is delivered. You should place your address on your cart; the cart will not be replaced. If you move, please be sure to leave the cart behind for the next resident.
