TRASH COLLECTION PROGRAM:
What is Trash? The Town of North Smithfield's weekly trash service is for household trash items that are generated in normal day-to-day living.
** Please note, this service is not intended for moving or cleanouts, waste from home construction projects, hazardous items, or any item that is deemed unacceptable by RI Resource Recovery, the governing body of our state landfill. We ask residents to call with any questions before they place items out for collection.
Trash Cans: Residents are allowed one Town-issued 64-gallon size trash barrel. All trash MUST be bagged as loose trash. If your property has extra trash, we also have our Town bags ($10 for a pack of 5) available for purchase at the Highway Department.
Placement Times: Residents should only place bins out for collection no earlier than 6 pm on the day before your pick-up day. The collection does start at 6 am on trash day.
One Bulky Item: The Town does allow one large item to be collected IF it is something permitted in our trash collection. This would need to be called into the Recycling Department or go to Waste Management.com to schedule a pickup. Example- couch, chair, table.
Multi-Unit Properties: The Town of North Smithfield offers weekly trash & bi-weekly recycling services to 1–5-unit properties. Landlords are responsible for informing their tenants what is permitted in the weekly collections. If the tenant is not compliant ultimately the responsibility falls onto the property owner.
Moving Out or Cleaning Out: Trash limits still apply. Please plan accordingly. Click below for suggestions to help you manage larger trash amounts.
Moving Out/ Cleaning Out Details
White Goods (Appliances & Large Metal) Items: Monthly curbside collection is available on the first Monday of the month to our residents at no charge. Residents should call the Recycling department directly to schedule a pickup. Please call by Friday or go to Waste Management.com to schedule a pickup.
Wrong Items Placed Curbside: If items are left after your trash & recycling have been serviced, you have placed an item we cannot collect by our program. Items MUST be removed from the curb in order to keep our streets safe and per town ordinance.
Yard Waste Collections: A seasonal yard waste curbside collection is offered to our residents during our Spring and Fall seasons.
** Items that we cannot dispose of are ultimately the responsibility of the resident and will incur a disposal cost.
