The recycling center located at the DPW Garage on Russell Avenue is opened Monday thru Friday, 7:00 am until 3:00 pm, and from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm on Saturdays (except holidays). In addition to those items picked up curbside, the center accepts cardboard (flattened), used motor oil, car tires, and used clothing.
