Smithfield Recycles

Total Participation Recycling Program

Since 2007, the Town of Smithfield no longer collects trash from residents who do not recycle. There will be no exceptions to this program.

Replacement recycling carts are available at the Department of Public Works at 3 Spragueville Rd. (next to the Ice Rink/Animal Shelter, off Rte. 116/Pleasant View Ave.) The Department of Public Works will be responsible for repairs including, but not limited to wheels, axles, lids, hinge pins, and replacement of carts damaged by Town plows or Town vehicles.

Yard Waste Collection

The Town of Smithfield will begin Lawn and Yard Waste pickup on the first full week of April. Yard waste is collected on residents’ regular trash day on a route separate from trash and recycling.

Yard waste must be set at the curb in brown paper bags (available at local retailers) or barrels clearly labeled YARD WASTE. Yard waste in plastic garbage bags or cardboard boxes will not be collected. A maximum of 12 barrels and/or bags of yard waste is accepted per household.

Yard waste will be collected every week April through May; every other week starting June through October, and every week through November. Please see the recycling calendar for exact dates.

Composting is a good way to reduce your curbside yard waste collection requirements. Compost bins are available to residents for $45 each at the Smithfield Public Works Garage located at 3 Spragueville Road (behind Dave’s Towing Service).

Please contact the Smithfield Recycling Coordinator at 233-1034, ext 205 or send an email to recycle@smithfieldri.com with questions.
