Recycling and Trash Pick up

COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO RECYCLING IN BRADLEY

Bradley Recycles the 3rd Tuesday of the month. 

Single Sort Recycling Flyer

The Town of Bradley is excited to introduce to its residents single stream recycling.  This program will begin July 19, 2011.  Single stream recycling allows residents to place all recyclable items in one single recycling container.  By making recycling easier the program encourages recycling and reduces much of your trash..  The success of the waste reduction will not only make a huge impact on our environment, it will also help reduce the Town’s solid waste expense, which helps all town taxpayers.  All single stream recycled items can be placed in any easily lift able container.  Identifiable stickers will be provided at no charge to residents, available at the municipal building, the container must be used only for recycling.  Curbside pickup will remain the same, the third (3rd) Tuesday of each month.  Residents are however asked to designate your container on the pickup days by segregating from your solid waste containers, perhaps on the other side of your property entrance.
