Dover Curbside Recycling
The MCMUA provides curbside recycling collection service for Dover residents.
Please note a change in recycling collection for 2012 where the entire town will be collected on one route on one day.
Where recyclables used to be picked up every other Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in three sections of town, they will be collected in 2012 every
other Friday in the entire town, starting Friday, Jan. 13. Dover's last Monday collection in 2011 will be Dec. 12, with the last Tuesday collection
this year coming Dec. 27, and the final Wednesday collection for 2011 will be Dec. 28. Collection does not occur on major holidays.
Material Accepted For Curbside Recycling Collection by the MCMUA and Preparation Instructions
For the Town of Dover, the MCMUA collects single-stream mixed recyclables. This means that aluminum, glass bottles and jars, steel cans and plastic containers can be mixed with recyclable paper including newspaper, corrugated cardboard, junk mail, office paper, magazines, cartons, etc., for curbside collection. Additionally, none of the newspaper or cardboard needs to be bundled or tied. There is still a 50-pound weight limit on the recycling container put out at curbside for collection by the MCMUA.
Dover also operates a municipal recycling depot where certain recyclables can be dropped off for recycling. Click here to read about the Dover municipal recycling depot.
