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
