PITTSFIELD, Mass. (October 17, 2024) – As the new trash and recycling system is well underway, the City of Pittsfield announces two options for residents to dispose of old trash and recycling containers that are no longer need.
On Saturday, November 9, Casella Waste Systems will host a drop-off at the Pittsfield Transfer Station, located at 500 Hubbard Avenue, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Pittsfield residents can drop off their old trash and recycle containers during this window.
In addition, during the week of November 11 through November 15, old trash and recycling containers will be picked up curbside, on the same day as residents’ scheduled collection. Casella will pick up any old trash and recycling containers, left at the curbside, by a separate truck and not by the trash or recycling truck.
For residents who have backyard pickups, unless you indicate that you are keeping the old container with a note, Casella will pick up your old container(s) the week of November 11.
Before disposing of your old container, the city encourages residents to consider using the old containers for the following options:
• Repurpose, sell or donate them.
• Use them for storage for yard waste, equipment and other materials.
• Use them as a compost bin.
As a reminder, additional resources for the new trash and collection system, including a list of frequently asked questions, can be found on the Toter Program page on the city’s website at www.cityofpittsfield.org.
