Recycling in Lynn: A Local Guide
Lynn is a coastal city in Essex County, Massachusetts, served by two dedicated Massachusetts Bottle Bill redemption centers listed here. J & K Redemption at 676 Western Ave (near Brookvale St) redeems eligible deposit bottles and cans Monday through Saturday, 7:30 AM–2:30 PM. It is a local, walk-up redemption center—an alternative for residents who prefer not to bring empties back to a grocery store. Phone (781) 581-5777. No website has been found for this business.
The Lynn Redemption Center at 6 Commercial St (listed in the directory as 'Recycling Center') is open Monday through Saturday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM—longer hours than J & K, making it the more accessible option for working-week visits. Phone (781) 832-3032. The same Commercial Street corridor also hosts the City of Lynn DPW at 250 Commercial St, which accepts televisions ($25 ea), computer monitors ($25 ea), mattresses ($35 ea), propane tanks ($5 ea), and fluorescent bulbs from Lynn residents only on weekdays (Mon–Thu 8:30 AM–2:30 PM, Fri until 11:30 AM). A driver's license is required to prove Lynn residency.
For metals and junk vehicles, neither redemption center is appropriate—residents should look to nearby cities or private haulers. Cardboard, paper, and plastics are collected curbside by the Lynn DPW on scheduled recycling days; residents should check the annual DPW calendar for their street's collection schedule. For HHW disposal or paint recycling, check the City of Lynn DPW announcements for periodic collection events.
Lynn borders several cities with their own recycling options. Nearby alternatives include Peabody, Revere, Malden, and Everett—each of which has additional redemption and recycling facilities that may be more convenient depending on your location within the greater Lynn area.
