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.

Some of the information on this page is seasonal. Links to this information will be made available as dates, locations and costs are provided. Check this page regularly for "what's new".
