Refuse & Recycling

Current Operations:

Please note - During the COVID-19 pandemic we are operating with limited staff on our routes and in our offices. Due to this, pick-ups are regularly running a day or two behind, and will do so for the foreseeable future. Please continue to put your trash on the curb before 7 a.m. on your scheduled day, and leave it out until it is picked up. Thank you.

The Twiss St. Transfer Station (AKA Landfill) is closed to the public until July 1, 2020 per the Board of Health. Any questions and inquiries should be directed to the Health Department’s web page.

Overview

The Department of Public Works is responsible for weekly transportation of Refuse and Recycling from Westfield’s residences to the Twiss St. Transfer Station.
