Longmeadow will continue collecting bulky rigid plastics, with no service interruption expected; new vendors can accept a wider range of materials and the cost increase is described as minimal.

Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
Residents should continue to have access to bulky rigid plastic recycling as the program moves to its next phase. The Commission recommended stronger cardboard drop-off rules, including requiring a Longmeadow Recycling Center decal and changing collection-sign language from “please” to “MUST.” A part-time recycling coordinator was discussed but not approved; the proposed role would help with resident questions, education, enforcement, grants, and recycling programs.
