What Do I Do With
There are over 350 items listed alphabetically by the Springfield MRF, To see the list click here.
Propane Tanks
Most propane tanks can be refilled; many businesses that sell propane will accept tanks for reuse under specific conditions. Do not put tanks in household recycling, trash, or scrap metal dumpsters. Tanks are recyclable in special, separate programs at transfer stations or recycling centers. Do not puncture. Close the valves on barbeque grill size tanks. Some recyclers also accept small camping type tanks. Local municipal recycling info is found in the Community Recycling Information table in this guide; find more options at earth911.com

Beyond the Bin - New Link
What is Beyond the Bin?
Beyond the Bin is for next-level searching. The directory helps Massachusetts residents find recycling and reuse outlets for household items - including old electronics, plastic bags, furniture, and textiles – that cannot be recycled with household bottles, cans and paper.
The new and improved Beyond the Bin directory is now part of Recycle Smart MA, along with the fan-favorite Recyclopedia, RSMA Quiz, and loads of other resources! You can find it here: Beyond the Bin
