TRASH & RECYCLING SUBSCRIPTION PROGRAM
 
The Board of Health just renewed their contract with F. W. Shaw & Son for another 3 years. Their bid prices were so very affordable that it allowed the Board of Health to again offer a reasonable subscription price for this year, July 1, 2024-June 30, 2025. The fee will remain at $360.00. Overflow bag prices also remain the same at $3.00 each in rolls of five for $15.00. You may sign up on line at www.dunstable-ma.gov/trashpayments or you may pay by mail or drop off at the town hall.  There is a drop off box outside the side door of the town hall. Put the payment in an envelope marked “Joan-Trash Payment” Please include your address, email address and phone number. You may purchase overflow bags by this method as well. If you pay online be sure to bring a copy of your receipt when picking up your bags.

A new bulky item price list is available on the town website www.dunstable-ma.gov on the Board of Health web page. The Board is excited to announce a new program available beginning July 1st to all Dunstable residents for the disposal of mattresses. We have partnered with UTEC (United Team Equality Center) a nonprofit entity, to offer the disposal of mattresses for $40.00 each. Mattresses will be picked up curbside monthly on a Tuesday by appointment. Part of the proceeds will go to helping youths at risk. To reserve a pickup please use one of these options.
 
A.) visit www.utecinc.org/mattress-recycling. Select Dunstable from the drop-down menu, select service date, schedule, and pay.
B.) Email us at: [email protected] and provide a call-back number
C.) Call us at  (978) 856-3997
 
The Board would also like to thank all who continue to use the recycling boxes now located at 589 Pleasant Street. These boxes have allowed hundreds of tons of recycling materials to be diverted from the waste stream and converted into reusable items. Please try to remember to be mindful of the fact that there are resident’s homes in the area if you are dropping off items at a late hour. 
  
If you need to reach us for any reason, please email us at  [email protected].   You may also leave a message at 978-649-4514, Ext. 229.
