Dartmouth Recycling

The Dartmouth Select Board and Department of Public Works place a high priority on recycling. More recycling means less trash, which means longer life for the Crapo Hill Landfill and less expense for the homeowner.

Dartmouth residents have three choices to recycle and dispose of trash:

1. Recycle weekly at the curb as a Dartmouth Pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) customer by paying $80 per year base rate. You must use at least two (2) blue bins, one for all types of paper including flattened cardboard, and one for plastic, metal and glass bottles and cans, but no styrofoam. Trash must be set out in specially marked orange bags costing $1 (about 15 pounds of trash) or $2 (about 30 pounds).
2. Recycle at the Transfer Station, 976 Russells Mills Road on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30 am to 3:15 pm, and Saturdays 7:30 am to 2:45 pm. You must have a PAYT sticker to use the Transfer Station and your trash must still be in the special orange bags. Construction and demolition debris is also accepted for a fee.
3. Hire a private hauler to collect your recyclables and trash. 

PAYT customers also receive many other recycling and disposal benefits:

• yard waste pick up curbside every Spring and Fall;
• bulky waste pick up by appointment (per item fee applies);
• holiday tree curbside collection in January;
• free disposal of two tires per year at the Transfer Station.
• the Recycling Center at the Transfer Station also accepts: scrap metal, propane tanks*, white goods & appliances*, waste oil, lead batteries, fluorescent bulbs, items with mercury (eg. thermometers), computer monitors and TVs*, large furniture*, clean clothing, eyeglasses, cell phones, rechargeable batteries, and printer cartridges.
