The Chelmsford Recycling Committee is a group of Chelmsford residents interested in helping our neighbors reduce their trash and increase their recycling and composting.
We work hand in hand with the Chelmsford Sustainability Manager. We staff the Fluorescent Bulb Shed each month to help our fellow residents to responsibly dispose of fluorescent lights, batteries, mercury thermostats, etc. We also assist at various recycling drop-offs including Paper Shredding and Household Hazardous Waste.
We also support the Chelmsford High School (CHS) Eco Club in their work on composting at CHS. In turn, they assist us at the drop-offs.
Our goal is to reduce the amount of trash by trying to increase the number of items that get effectively recycled or repaired or composted, and by promoting reusables vs. disposables. We maintain a website to provide our neighbors with recycling and composting information.
