The Town of Mansfield operates a recycling park and compost area that provides a convenient way to recycle materials that are not collected in single-stream recycling bins, white goods (not bulky items), and yard waste.

Location

The Mansfield Green Recycling Park and Compost Area is at the intersection of Route 106 and East Street, 499 East Street.

Annual Sticker Requirement

The Mansfield Green Recycling Park is open to Mansfield residents whose vehicles have an up-to-date sticker affixed to their vehicle window. To purchase an annual sticker, bring your automobile registration and $20 (effective July 1st, 2018) to the Town Clerk’s office at Town Hall. The sticker will allow both resident parking at the Mansfield Train Station and the use of the Mansfield Green Recycling Park on a calendar-year basis. Vehicle stickers are not available for purchase at the Mansfield Green.
