NOTE: Electronic equipment (computers, stereos, radios, speakers, games, etc.) must be in the original carton with the original styrofoam packing.  Suitcases should be in a carton.  Trunks need not be boxed but must be locked.  Do not fill large cartons with books, as they will weigh more than 70 lbs.  There are a limited number of cartons available free of charge at the Recycling Center located down the hill on Route 125.

 

We can ship International. If you bring in your packages we can let you know what carrier would be most cost effective, (UPS, DHL or USPS).
