Automated Trash & Recycling Collection Update ♻️🗑️
Thank you, Swampscott! As we continue with the transition to automated trash and recycling collection, we appreciate your patience and understanding while our team works through cart deliveries, exchanges, and additional cart requests throughout the community.
Our staff is working hard each day to process requests, answer questions, and ensure every household receives the assistance they need.
📍Missed Trash or Recycling Collection
If your trash or recycling was missed on your scheduled collection day, please contact Republic Services directly at 781-289-0500 to report the missed collection.
Missed collection reports should be directed to Republic Services so their team can document the issue and coordinate collection.
📍Additional Cart Requests
Deployment of additional trash and recycling carts has begun and will continue again beginning Monday, August 10. We appreciate your patience as our team works to distribute these carts throughout the community. If you have already submitted a request, please know that we are actively working through requests and completing deliveries as quickly as possible.
📍65-Gallon Recycling Cart Reminder
If you have requested a 65-gallon recycling cart, please continue using your 95-gallon recycling cart until your exchange has been completed. This will help ensure your recycling continues to be collected without interruption while you wait for your replacement cart.
📍Bulk Item Reminder
Bulk item stickers are not available for purchase at Town Hall. Bulk item pickup scheduling and payment must be completed directly through Republic Services. Instructions and additional information are available on the Town's website.
📍Questions or Inquiries?
Email remains the fastest and preferred method of communication. Email allows our team to review requests, maintain accurate records, and respond more efficiently.
[email protected]
When emailing, please include your name, property address, and a brief description of your question or request so our team can assist you as quickly as possible.
