    Know Your Recycling Options

    As of October 7, 2011, the City of Boston is no longer accepting requests for large blue recycling carts. Instead, convert an unneeded container into a recycling bin with a City recycling sticker, use clear plastic bags to put out your recycling (select neighborhoods only), or continue using small blue recycling bins or the large carts.
