Harvey & Sons is located out of Westborough, MA with a sub-site in Tyngsborough, MA. Along with this new contract come new and exciting service changes. Highlights include:

• Curbside recycling pick-up will now be weekly…no more red and blue weeks!

• Bulk item disposal will be limited to once per month per residence.

• Overflow recycling containers behind Town Offices will be removed.

• Residents have the option to purchase 96-, 64- and 35-gallon bins from E.L. Harvey. These are high quality rolling carts and are offered at a discounted rate. To order, call E.L. Harvey & Sons at 800- 321-3002.
