The City of East Providence Department of Public Works, Refuse/Recycling Division, is sponsoring Earth Day Neighborhood Cleanups throughout the city during April. Residents are urged to volunteer some of their time to assist in cleaning the waterfront, bike path, walking trail, or open spaces throughout the City. If you have a group that will be participating in this year’s cleanup please call the office for a Registration form for you group. All groups must be registered prior to cleanup events.
Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corp. will once again be waiving disposal (tipping) fees on solid waste for Municipally organized groups involved in a cleanup effort in honor of Earth Day, from April 1, 2013 to May 12, 2013. These cleanups will collectively be eligible for a tip fee waiver of 10 tons, and these 10 tons will not count against the municipality’s Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) cap.
If you are interested in helping with one of the already registered groups please contact the Dept. of Public Works/Recycling office at 435.7701 or 435.7710.

RECYCLE TOGETHER
RECYCLING IN EAST PROVIDENCE AND ALL OF RHODE ISLAND
JUST GOT EASIER!!
New: it's now OK to mix your recyclables together!
No new bin is necessary - simply use what you have. Your recycled paper, cardboard, and containers will be mixed in the collection truck too. And don't worry, mixing is a good thing! The State's new recycling facility will do the rest. Now it's either recycling or it isn't. Period.
New: You can now recycle more plastics!
In fact, you can now recycle all plastic containers up to 2 gallons. Don't worry about the numbers or the little triangle. Is it a plastic container? Is it 2 gallons or smaller? If so, recycle it! This means you can now recycle plastic jars, tubs, cups, yogurt containers, egg cartons and take out containers too.
