Dedham Holiday Recycling Schedule

DEDHAM, MA — The holiday season is wrapping up and that means there's plenty of cleaning to get done. Between taking down decorations and throwing away gift wrap, it's hard to keep a schedule of when to recycle what.

Patch has you covered with Dedham's holiday recycling schedule.

The week of Dec. 30th (Green) and the week of Jan. 6th (Gold) Waste Management will collect excess recycling on your regular recycling day. For these two weeks only, cardboard, paper and other recyclables will be picked up outside of carts. Recyclables can be put in open barrels, paper bags or boxes to accommodate the overflow from the holidays.

Styrofoam and plastic bags are not recyclable in single stream collection. The town warned that any additional container with trash in it will not be picked up. Overflow trash bags are available to purchase at the following locations:

• Star Market (795 Providence Highway)
• Stop and Shop (160 Providence Highway)
• Terri's Market(12 Louise Road)
• 7-11 (77 Cedar Street)

The overflow trash bags can be placed next to trash carts for collection.

Christmas Trees will be collected by the DPW starting the week of Dec. 30th and continuing through January (or until all trees are collected). Trees may not be collected on your regular trash day. Please place your tree curbside free of tinsel, garland, lights, ornaments and plastic.

Jan. 1st is a holiday, and trash/recycling collection will be delayed one day for the remainder of that week.
