Moving next month? Save these tips! When in doubt, check the Recyclopedia at RecycleSmartMA.org.
For stuff that isn`t coming with you:
➡️Give items to neighbors via local gifting or secondhand groups online.
➡️Use the Beyond the Bin search tool on our website to see where to bring items including textiles, small appliances, furniture, and mattresses.
