In Massachusetts, each community handles trash and recycling differently. There are a few state laws that require the recycling of items such as televisions and CRTs. The state also requires a 5 cent deposit on certain bottles to encourage recycling.

   The city we live in picks up recyclables on trash day. They also have a depot which will take items that are dropped off. Although, the city says separating recyclables is required, they also say 30% of households do not recycle.
