Once you receive your new carts, you can dispose of your old trash and recycling bins by dropping them off at the Central Falls Department of Public Works located at 1280 High Street any time Mon-Thurs. 7:00am-3:00pm or Fridays 7-12pm.

Please leave your cart at your residence.  Each cart has a radio frequency identification tag (RFID) installed that registers the cart to a specific address.  The RFID tags are located by GPS coordinates that can monitor cart locations and send an alert if the cart is not registered to the address where it is collected.

There are many environmental benefits to recycling, plus it saves money.  Your tax dollars are spent to dispose of trash.  The City pays for every ton of trash disposed at the landfill.  Rhode Island Resource Recovery accepts recyclable materials for free and actually reimburses the City depending on the amount recycled.

Yes - the City will be moving from a three-day to a four-day trash and recycling pick-up schedule. For your reference, view the new list of days and streets and within Central Falls.
