Recycling and Composting Equipment
To help support waste reduction efforts in schools, MassDEP makes no-cost recycling and composting equipment available to registered Green Team members.
Starting in April 2023, all recycling equipment pick-ups will take place by appointment at the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) State Logistics Warehouse in Franklin. Pick-up will no longer be available in Amherst or Boston.
Schools must be registered Green Team members to be considered for this assistance.
Included Equipment
Recycling equipment includes recycling bins, wheeled carts, compost bins, and worms for worm bins. All equipment requests are subject to availability.
Recycling Signage
Proper signage is an important part of any waste reduction program. The Green Team has created easy-to-download signage that can be used for a variety of waste programs, including recycling, composting, share tables, and more!
