Andover Reminds Residents To Have Trash, Recycling Out By 7 A.M.

ANDOVER, MA — Andover reminded residents to have their trash and recycling curbside by 7 a.m. on collection days, Wednesday. While collection times are often predictable, trucks can come as early as 7 a.m.

Weather, wait-times at refuse facilities, staff changes and especially construction can affect collection times, the town said.

"As construction season goes into full swing, please be aware that collection times are more likely to vary, especially if there is construction on or around your street," the town said. "Residents will be notified of any changes to service outside of the normal collection schedule."

"Republic Services is not required to return to an address that did not have their items at the curb at 7:00 am," the town notes.

Residents can contact recycle@andoverma.us or 978-623-8701 with questions and concerns.
