As of November 2022, all textiles will be banned from trash disposal sites in Massachusetts, so these items will need to be recycled. To that end, Shutesbury is partnering with CMRK, a company that collects textiles and other items at no cost. In fact, Shutesbury will receive $0.07 per pound for recycled textiles. You will find the blue textile collection bin on the road that will be the entrance to the new library on Leverett Road.
Whatever you put in the bin must be dry and clean and in tied bags. Here’s a list of acceptable and non-acceptable items.

Trash
Each household will receive 50 free bags per "trash bag year" which begins at the annual Town Meeting, usually the last Saturday in April. Additional bags (in packs of ten for $20) are available at Town Hall and the M. N. Spear Library.
Only trash in tied yellow or purple “Town of Shutesbury” bags is acceptable. OPEN BAGS WILL BE REJECTED.
