As of November 2022, all textiles are banned from trash disposal sites in Massachusetts, so these items will need to be recycled.  To that end, Shutesbury has partnered 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 just inside the Highway Department yard on Leverett Road.

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.

*Trash Bags are not being sold at Town Hall during the Distribution Period (April 25th – June 27th)* Please take our recycling survey.  Deadline: June 20th.
