Where can I donate my gently used items?
The Town of Burrillville participates in the statewide Maximum Recycling Program.
This web page is designed to inform residents of when your weekly collection is scheduled, trash collection information and changes, what you can and cannot recycle, Town recycling regulations, and how you can receive more information on recycling and recycling programs.
The pages within are updated often; however, items can sometimes get overlooked. If you would like to see something included, if you see a mistake, or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
