Tip of the Week: A Resource to Help You Know Whether to Recycle, Trash, or Donate

If you’re unsure how to dispose of something, your first step should be checking the City of Newton Sustainable Materials Management Division website for information specific to our community.

If you can’t find it there, search state’s Recycle Smart Recyclopedia! The Recyclopedia provides information on what to do with over 800 items. It’ll tell you if it needs to go in the trash, recycling, or somewhere else.

Need to take it somewhere else? Search Beyond the Bin to find recycling and donation outlets near you.
