Special Events Recycling Recycling may be the last thing on your mind right now. We understand that special event coordinators are busy with the task of organizing and managing their event, without adding recycling collection into the mix of responsibilities. That's why we're here to help! The Essex-Windsor Solid Waste Authority (EWSWA) is prepared to work with you and your organizing committee to make recycling work at your special event (service available May 1st - August 31st). For further information check our Special Events Recycling Page on this website. Cardboard Restriction Please RECYCLE ALL CARDBOARD and note the following: Cardboard should be flattened and bundled no larger than 30"x30"x8". Staples, tape, and labels do not have to be removed from the cardboard. Styrofoam and plastic packaging included in cardboard boxes must be removed before recycling. All other contaminants must be removed from cardboard before recycling (ie. leftover food waste, plastic inserts, styrofoam etc.) Cardboard should be placed beside the Red Box for recycling collection. For more information on recyclable items check our Recycle Box Basics page.
