Avoid paranormal bag-tivity by keeping plastic bags OUT of your recycling bin. They get stuck in equipment at the materials recovery facility, causing disruptions and safety hazards. Be a plastic bag ghost-buster: 👻🚫 Take them to a retail drop-off location, reuse them, or put them in the trash.

Save the date for the PUMPKIN SMASH event! 🎃

We are teaming up Avon Park & Recreation and Avon MA Fire Department to smash pumpkins! Watch our Fire Department drop your pumpkins from their ladder truck then test your aim by throwing the pieces at a target!

In the United States, over 80% of pumpkins purchased for Halloween are thrown away, with more than 1 billion pounds ending up in landfills each year. In an effort to reduce trash tonnage we are collecting pumpkins at the Compost Site. Pumpkins may also be dropped off at the Compost Site during open hours prior to event.
