Spring 2009 Bulky Waste Day was a great success!

Although there was a steady line of people, the many volunteers helping to unload kept things moving as quickly as the space would allow.  Here's a photo of the group who helped to make it happen.

Thanks to all who helped, all who came, and for your patience during the process!

You can get your copy of the REVISED Shutesbury Recycling Almanac at Bulky Waste Day, at Town Hall, or with your trash bags at the Annual Meeting in May.

Every household in Town is provided with a copy of the Shutesbury Recycling Almanac. This booklet is intended to be used as your primary reference for options and requirements of proper recycling and solid waste disposal.  Keep your copy in a handy spot so you can refer to it easily!

This 2nd edition of the Almanac has been updated, expanded to include websites and other sources of recycling information (and details concerning recycling of plastic materials), and reorganized for ease of use.
