For over four decades, Earth Day—celebrated annually on April 22—has inspired people around the globe to take action for our planet. In Danvers, we're keeping that spirit going with a special Zero Waste Recycling Weekend, giving residents the opportunity to recycle a wide variety of items that aren't accepted in curbside bins!
Hosted by the Town of Danvers Department of Public Works, this event will take place on Saturday and Sunday, May 3 and 4, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Danvers High School parking lot (60 Cabot Road). Proof of residency is required upon entry.
