Recycling Center
 Action Plan Participant:  City of Fall River, Department of Public Works

Mayor Lambert is happy to announce that the City of Fall River is 100 percent curbside recycling compliant. This means that all residents with regular city trash service may recycle. The DPW has a new fleet of recycling trucks, made possible through matching grants from the Department of Environmental Protection. These trucks will aid the city in its commitment to recycling. Fall River also has a dual-sided, automated recycling truck. With all of these tools in place, the city is poised to successfully realize its mission to recycle.
