What does Danvers refuse at the curb?+
Mattresses and box springs are off the bulky list and go to the town's mattress recycling partner. Metal items, rigid plastic and construction debris are not collected curbside at all, and the recycling cart refuses appliances, batteries, textiles, cords, paint, Styrofoam, tires and yard waste.
