Mark your Calendar: Upcoming Fall 2025 Recycling Events



Falmouth Solid Waste Advisory Committee and the Department of Public Works have planned a series of four recycling events for the fall season. These events are intended to provide residents with a convenient opportunity to divert recyclable materials from the landfill. All are free of charge, although the latex paint event has a suggested donation to help cover recycling costs and support a local non-profit organization.



  1.  Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Recycling: September 13, 416 Gifford Street, 9am to 12pm.

Falmouth residents may drop-off Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) items, commonly known by the brand name “Styrofoam”. Collected materials are recycled at Insulation Technology in Bridgewater, MA.

  1.  Latex Paint Recycling Collection: September 20, Falmouth HS, 874 Gifford St. Ext., 9am – 12pm.
