Recycling
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Waste Reduction & Recycling Education & Enforcement Agents on the Streets of Amesbury!
During November and December, weather permitting, Recycling, Waste Reduction and Education Agents will be out on the streets of Amesbury wearing high visibility clothing. Agents will be passing out door hangers and other informational flyers, speaking to residents, tenants and business owners about the MANDATORY RECYCLING Ordinance and enforcement of the ordinance that will begin January 1, 2015.
Please feel free to ask us questions and meet us.
We look forward to working with you to increase recycling and reduce the amount of trash that is collected and disposed throughout the City.
If you would like more information about this project please call 978-388-8116.
