Trash Collection

The Tyngsborough Board of Health would like to remind all residents that trash collection is on Thursdays (Fridays on holiday weeks) and that recycling collections are on the same day, every other week. If you need a calendar, you can pick one up at the Board of Health.

Please note the following:

The new trash toters are now in use throughout the Town of Tyngsborough. By 6:30 a.m. on collection day, place the container with the lid closed as near as possible to the curb or roadside, but not on the street.

Make sure the toter is at least 3 feet from mailboxes, parked cars, trees, and light posts.  Also, make sure that the handle and lid hinge is facing your residence.  Trash and recycling receptacles should be separated (opposite sides of your driveway).

If your trash or recycle has not been picked up, please call Allied Waste Customer Service at 978 649-7564 no later then 9:00 am the next morning. All other trash issues call the Board of Health via number above.
