• Westwood's Recycling Audit Underway as Town Measures Contamination (town.news) — Westwood is undergoing a recycling audit through October 26 to measure how much non-recyclable material ends up in curbside bins, a key factor in whether the town faces financial penalties from its processor. With contamination previously at 17.6%, residents are urged to double-check items using the town's online Recyclopedia so Westwood can cut costs and improve recycling quality.
