Question:

What day is my trash and recycling collected?
Answer:

Trash pickup is done on a weekly basis throughout the Town, recycling is done biweekly.
Yard waste is done seasonally (click here for dates).
 
Recycling in Arlington is collected every other week on your regular trash collection day. Arlington residents are either on the triangle route or the circle route. Find your street on the street list below to determine what route you are on. Then check the Recycling Guide's calendar to determine when your route is next scheduled for pick up.

The Recycling Guide also includes helpful information on what to recycle curbside and how to prepare it.

When a scheduled collection day falls on a holiday, that day's collection and all remaining
collections for the week will be delayed one day. Friday's collection will be on Saturday.

Businesses that are on Town trash pickup must purchase orange bags for trash. Bags can be purchased at Wanamaker Hardware, Arlington Swifty Printing and at the DPW Office at 51 Grove St., second floor. The bags are $2.30 each or a roll or 10 for $23. Recycling is free.
