Newton’s recycling program needs your help to recycle right and reduce contamination in our recycling carts.
Acceptable items for recycling: paper (such as junk mail or empty brown paper bags), paperboard, flattened cardboard, and empty bottles, jugs, jars, tubs, or cans made of plastic, metal, or glass.
NO recyclables in paper or plastic bags. This has been identified as the biggest recycling contamination culprit in recent audits of Newton’s recycling. Don’t wishcycle! If in doubt, throw it out.
This summer, staff will be conducting inspections of residential recycling carts at the curb. Carts with contamination will be tagged and carts with recurring contamination will be rejected.
Unsure of what, how, or where to recycle? Use the Recycle Right tool at newtonma.gov/recycling; our Recycle Right Newton app or the Sustainable Materials Management (SMM) Guide for Trash, Recycling, and Composting.

Going forward, Newton delays curbside services by one day for seven holidays: New Year’s Day, Patriot’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day.
