Pratt Trucking is proud to announce our latest effort in providing you with the best service in the industry while doing our part to help protect the environment. Single-Stream Recycling is a new service that expands our recycling program by accepting more kinds of recyclable materials AND allows us to commingle recyclable materials in our trucks. That’s right!...all recyclable
materials will now be commingled together and delivered to a
state-of-the-art facility that sorts it out. See the video on
our website! Customers who wish to begin participation are
encouraged to call our office and sign up. We will deliver a
receptacle just like the one your trash goes into, only it
will be for recycling only.
New Recycling Guidelines
Newspaper
Will now be placed loose
inside of your receptacle.
This is a departure from our previous instructions to bag or tie up papers. We will be providing receptacles to our serious recycling customers. This prevents papers from blowing away, and keeps the bin from filling up with water on rainy days.
Corrugated
We are now able to accept used corrugated boxes on our residential recycling routes. Boxes need to be broken down and/or cut up. Corrugated pieces must be no larger than 3’ x 3’.		 Cardboard
This includes, but is not limited to, paper towel rolls, tissue, cereal, and snack boxes. Canned beverage cartons are now accepted.		 Junk Mail, Office Stationery, School Papers, Catalogs,
Phone Books, and Wrapping Paper
These materials are now accepted with recycling. Please put into bin loose, rather than bagged.
Plastic
We are now able to accept all plastic that is marked #1 thru #7 of any color. Examples are laundry detergent,shampoo, milk, and water containers. You will find the number on the bottom of the container inside a triangular recycling symbol.

Plastic that is not number #1 thru #7 should be thrown with your regular trash.

Glass
liquor and wine bottles. Must be rinsed out—caps, labels, and corks need not be removed.

PLEASE, NO ceramics, pottery, window glass, drinking glasses, mirrors, crystal, or light bulbs.

Cans
Accepted cans are aluminum, tin, and steel. Labels do not need to be removed

PLEASE, NO paint or
aerosol cans or LIQUIDS of any kind.

Non-Accetable Materials

NO Styrofoam
NO Aluminum Foil
NO Food Waste
NO Printer Cartridges (toner or ink jet)
NO Cell Phones
NO Batteries
NO Electronics of any kind
Televisions & Computer Monitors These items can no longer be disposed of with regular trash. Mass. DEP mandates that the Cathode Ray Tubes inside must be recycled. They may be brought to our Drop-Off yard. Televisions and Monitors range in price from $20.00 to $35.00 each depending on the size. DO NOT put these items out curb side.
 

We strongly encourage our customers who are not currently participating in our recycling program to do so. This is an every-other-week pickup service for no additional charge! Please consider taking advantage of our new Single-Stream Recycling Program, the participation of each household really does add up to make a difference.

Call our office at (508) 943-5000 to find out about the recycling schedule for your street and when you may begin. Please visit our website at www.pratttrucking.com for more information on this program and the many other convenient services we offer.
