Curbside recycling is mandatory in Bristol County cities for paper, cardboard, metal, glass, and plastics #1 and #2. MassDEP 310 CMR 19.017 bans listed recyclables from the trash stream statewide.
Fall River, New Bedford, Taunton, and Bristol County municipalities provide curbside recycling, typically every-other-week. Accepted materials: mixed paper, corrugated cardboard (flattened), aluminum and steel cans, glass bottles/jars, and rigid plastics #1 and #2 (some haulers accept through #5). Plastic bags, film, Styrofoam, tanglers (hoses, string lights), and food waste are NOT accepted curbside. MassDEP 310 CMR 19.017 bans these materials from the trash stream: paper, cardboard, metal, glass, single-resin plastics, leaves, yard waste, TVs, computer monitors, mattresses, and textiles (added 2022). Contaminated bins may be tagged and skipped. Large multi-family properties (5+ units) need commercial recycling per local bylaws.
Contaminated bins tagged and skipped. Repeat contamination: $25 to $100 under local bylaw. MassDEP waste ban violations for commercial haulers: state enforcement and fines.
