Burlington, MA 01803
It means ALL Recyclables go into ONE container. Paper, plastic, cardboard, bottles, cans – Mix
them all! You can continue to use the container you are using now for recycling but now you can mix them all into the same container. There is no need to separate paper from plastic and cans.
Recycle bins can be purchased in the Tax Office in Town Hall and then picked up at the Town Hall Annex DPW Office. The cost is $6.50 per bin. Recycle stickers are also available in the DPW Office free of charge. These can be affixed to your old trash barrels. These barrels can be used for yard waste and/or recycling
