Take Part In Dorchester's Recycling Program


Think about this: We Americans generate about 250 million tons of trash every year.

On average, each of us generates about 4.4 pounds of trash every day.

That means our small community of Dorchester produces more than 2,700 pounds of trash every 24 hours. 

That's nearly one million pounds over the year!

You can be part of the solution by recycling. And the Village of Dorchester makes it easier to do.

For those who aren't yet taking advantage of Dorchester's recycling program, visit the recycling bin, which has been moved south of the city park.

Bring your glass, plastics and newspapers every week.  Set recycling goals with your family.  

Just be sure to separate your trash from your recyclables -- and make sure what you're dropping off is indeed recyclable.

  1. I miss the old days when you could burn your own damned trash in your own damned barrel and not have a big truck pick it up and haul it somewhere for a fee.

  2. I'm in my late 30s David and I agree with you. Can't beat life in the country where you can still do that.
