Current Garbage and Recycling for Residents
The recycling and garbage center is located at N4941 Center Street, behind the Town Shop/Fire Department.
HOURS: Saturdays 9:00 am to 12:00 noon and Tuesdays 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm
The fee for garbage service is $3.00 per container up to 30 gallons and $5.00 for larger containers up to 55 gallons.
When you go to your recycling center, you will be placing all recyclables into one single-sort (plastics #1, 2 & 5 ONLY, glass and cardboard) container and all trash into a separate container. Both containers are provided by Waste Management, through which the Town of Westboro currently holds a contract. The recycling dumpsters are open at all times, but disposal of garbage is only allowed during open hours, when an attendant is on duty.
