Updates from Medfield TSARC

Medfield Transfer Station and Recycling Committee UPDATES

Important Updates

As you are aware, things are rapidly changing in our current world situation

Plastic grocery bags

We've been informed that Shaw's is no longer taking plastic bags to recycle,

We are asking residents to save their plastic bags, if possible, until they can be safely collected for recycling,

Epilepsy Trailer

We were informed that as of 4/23 the Epilepsy Foundation will only be accepting clothing and other fabric items, but do not place the fabric and clothing items in the TRAILER as it is going be be locked. Please place donations into the small collection bins outside the trailer.

SWAP Area

Will Not be opening in May and June.

Other Suggestions

The transfer station is experiencing increased levels of household trash due to reduced recycling and residents using this time to clean out their homes. We are recommending that reusable items be offered for reuse through freecycle.org or nextdoor.com or the Medfield Online Yard Sale Facebook page.

Residents who have the room to store reusable items should do so until non-profits reopen, as there will be a huge need for household items. Please save items that will be useful to others and don’t just throw them away!
