Clinton, a town of roughly 14,000 in Worcester County, MA, has two recycling facilities serving different needs. Residents needing to dispose of bulky household items — televisions, large appliances, mattresses, computers, and scrap metal — should use the Town of Clinton Recycling Center at 99 Woodlawn Street. The center is open Wednesday through Friday 10 AM–2 PM and Saturday 9 AM–1 PM.
