Trash & Recycling Update - 2/28/2026 for Franklin, MA


"Good morning!  Working with the Town Administrator and members of the Town Council, the following is planned to help folks that have been affected or will be affected by a trash and recycling missed pick-up or cancelled pick-up last week or this upcoming week caused by the Blizzard of 2026.

Free overflow bags (2) will be provided to residents who live in affected areas.  The affected areas are the Friday trash and recycling route and certain areas of the Monday route that could not be serviced.

To get these free overflow bags, come to the Franklin Public Works Administration Building at 257 Fisher Street with an ID.

Additionally, the Beaver Street Recycling Center will be open the following hours next week:

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9AM to 2:30PM

Wednesday from 9AM to 6PM

This will allow the affected residents mentioned above to drop off trash or recycling if needed.  A sticker is not required, but please bring an ID."
