Recycling in Attleboro: A Local Guide
Attleboro, a mid-sized city in Bristol County in southeastern Massachusetts, gives residents two very different recycling resources. The City of Attleboro Recycling Center at 29 Pond St N is the municipal option: a limited-hours drop-off facility for over 20 material categories that curbside collection won't touch—televisions, large appliances, mattresses, motor oil, propane tanks, bicycles, rechargeable batteries, clothing, and more. It operates on a narrow four-day weekly schedule (Tuesday and Thursday 12:30–3:30 PM, Friday and Saturday 9 AM–1 PM) and is open to Attleboro residents only, requiring a valid Solid Waste Program sticker and proof of residency. A Compost Center at the same address accepts yard waste from April 1 through November 30.
Dorrance Recycling at 15 Bradford St is a different kind of operation entirely: a family-owned contractor serving residential and commercial clients with roll-off dumpster rentals (15–40 cubic yards), large-quantity organic waste removal, and sales of recycled materials such as screened loam and crushed concrete. Its processing yard is in Norton, MA at 80 Harvey Street. Dorrance is not a public walk-in recycling center—it serves customers by contract, dumpster delivery, or hauling arrangement. It is the right call for a renovation cleanout or bulk debris removal project, not for dropping off a bag of old batteries.
Attleboro's location near the Rhode Island border makes it a hub for several waste-management businesses. Neighboring cities with recycling options include North Attleboro, Mansfield, and Franklin in Massachusetts, along with the broader Massachusetts recycling directory for statewide guidance on electronics, HHW, and material-specific programs. For statewide recycling search tools, RecycleSmartMA (recyclesmartma.org) maintains an up-to-date locator covering all Massachusetts municipalities.
