The Carlisle Household Recycling Committee

Purpose: Promote environmentally friendly waste disposal and recycling in town

Transfer Station

The town operates in the "drop off" mode, i.e., there is no curbside service by the town DPW. Citizens bring their recyclables, reusable items, and trash to the Transfer Station. It is located off of Elizabeth Ridge Road, which is off of Lowell Road, about 1/2 mile north of the town center.

Hours: Tuesday and Thursday: 10 am - 7 pm; Saturday: 8 am - 5 pm
Annual Sticker fee: $25.00 (purchased at the Police Station) for the first car; $10 for a second car.
