WHY RECYCLE?
Recycling will reduce your cost, since there is no additional fee to recycle the items listed below. The more you recycle, the less trash you have to put into the official Town of Harvard PAYT bags, and the more money you’ll save and you save the Town.
Please note: Recyclables should not be placed in the official Town of Harvard trash bags, and they should not be placed in the waste compactors.
The chart below shows major categories of what can and cannot be recycled. Remember, the more you recycle, the more you save!
