Curbside Trash and Recycling Program

General Information:

After a vote of Pembroke residents at town meeting effective July 1, 2011, the Town of Pembroke implemented curbside, single stream recycling. Each residence in the town was issued a sixty-four (64) gallon, custom toter with a unique serial number and a black lid stamped with the word "Recycling". This serial number is located on the toter and on each resident’s municipal user’s fee bill, mailed to them each July and January. This initiative was funded through a grant received by the Town with the balance paid for by the Town. Take a Tour of the Avon Single Stream Recycling Plant where your bin of recyclable material is taken each week.

Pembroke residents returned to town meeting in 2016 and debated the increasing costs associated with curbside trash collection, choosing by majority vote of town meeting to change over to automated trash collection effective July 1, 2016. Each residence in the town was then issued a sixty-four (64) gallon, custom toter with a unique serial number and a green lid stamped with the word "Trash". This serial number is located on the toter and on each resident’s municipal user’s fee bill, mailed to them each July and January.
