WEST BOYLSTON — Wachusett Watershed Regional Recycling Center reminds everyone of the remaining special collection dates for 2023. All events are open to residents of our seven member towns: Boylston, Holden, Paxton, Princeton, Rutland, Sterling and West Boylston.

Document Shredding Saturdays: Aug. 19 and Oct. 21, 9 am to noon. Document shredding with a document shredding truck on site. The first two boxes are free; additional boxes are $2 each. To reduce your cost and quantity, please recycle nonsensitive materials with your curbside pickup or in our paper recycling dumpster.
Latex Paint Collection Saturdays: July 1, 9 am to noon. All containers must have the original, readable label. Water based paint will have “latex,” “water-based,” or “acrylic” on the label. Do not consolidate paints or bring oil-based paint or any paint with Alkyd added. Water-based paint cleans up with just soap and water. Check the website for pricing. Fall dates TBD.
Household Hazardous Products collection only Saturdays: July 22 and Nov. 11, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. These extra Saturdays have been added just for disposal of hazardous products. The rest of the site will be closed. Check the website for pricing.
