East Providence Water Utilities Division

The Refuse Recycling Division of East Providence is dedicated to managing residential rubbish, recycling, yard debris, and appliance collection programs, with a mission to reduce waste and reliance on landfills through effective recycling and reuse initiatives. This division oversees the Forbes Street compost site and manages contracts for rubbish and recycling collection at all School Department facilities, while also promoting litter prevention and community engagement through events like Earth Day and the Shoreline Cleanup.

In addition to its operational responsibilities, the division provides educational components for classroom presentations and field trips, emphasizing the importance of proper recycling practices. The division's efforts not only aim to save tax dollars through effective recycling but also address the financial implications of improper recycling, which can lead to significant costs for the city and its taxpayers.
