Please call EOMS Recycling Inc at 508 587 9686 or visit http://www.kingofcardboard.net for your cardboard & other recycling materials needs.
As far as Christmas trees, I recently read goats easily eat Christmas trees. Perhaps you could ask around for a local goat farm.

The Whole Foods in Bedford recycles all stretchable plastic, so the pellet bags can go there.

Hi…we recently purchased some furniture that came with styrofoam packing and I don’t know where to take it to recyle it in the Belchertown area. There is quite a bit of it and I hate to just put it in the trash but can’t find anywhere to take it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I have a lot of old, broken plastic toys, some of which are large (like a kid’s swimming pool) that I would like to recycle if possible. I live in the Berkshires, so anywhere from Northampton west would be good.

I have used a systemic insect control “BONIDE”. I have both the diluent that’s left from an application and the concentrate. How and where can these be disposed of safely? I live on the south shore in Massachusetts.

I’d like to know where to recylce ball point pens, sharpies, highlighters and items similar. The plastic covering should be able to be reused, but I’m more concerned about the ink inside that could leach out and other toxins. ANY IDEAS!

I am trying to recycle old VHS tapes in the Quincy, MA area.
It seems as though they only have places in FL or CA.
I would even donate them if I knew where. Thanks

Hi, I’m a student working for my father’s company and we install audio and video equipment. Now I know that our waste could be divided into many categories, but I don’t know where the bulk of it should be disposed of. This bulk consists of old speakers, amplifiers, and similar electronics (some dating back 20 or 30 years). As well as this we dispose of a lot of wire, cardboard, and styrofoam. Any sort of recycling area suggestion would be better than the standard dumpster we have used for so long. Thank you.

Hi
I am trying to recycle long fluorescent lighting tubes. I have called and visited the local Home depot and Lowes, But both do not accept the long tube lighting. Does anyone know where I could recycle them around the Boston/ I-95 belt area?
Thanks
