Get it ready
Plastic bags are not allowed, so use paper lawn and leaf bags, and cut branches to no more than 3 inches in diameter and 4 foot lengths and tie them securely into bundles. Nothing may be left at the Highway Garage outside the published hours because the town treats that as illegal dumping.
Shrewsbury households pay for rubbish by the bag. Official blue pay-as-you-throw bags are sold at listed local retailers, priced as of July 13, 2026 at 1.44 for a small bag or 7.20 per roll of five and 2.92 for a large bag or 14.60 per roll of five. Bags should sit inside a lidded bin to keep animals out, must be able to close with nothing sticking out, may weigh no more than 20 pounds, and go to the kerb by 7:00 A.M. on the scheduled collection day. Items banned from landfill disposal by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection cannot go in the bag at all.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
