Recycling
Winchester’s Premier Recycling Service
Winchester Rubbish Removal & Recycling is the premier recycler in Winchester, MA. We set this gold standard because we understand that recycling is very important to our wonderfully intelligent customers dedicated to making a difference in this word. We try our absolute hardest NEVER to mix rubbish/trash with recyclables on the same truck. “There is no quick fix – DO NOT MIX!” For weekly residential waste removal services, we come once per week for trash; and once per week for recyclables. We pride ourselves on recycling properly and honestly. By offering single stream recycling (see below) our goal is to make it easy to dispose of recyclables in the most responsible way possible. To be transparent, we even post our monthly recycling totals on our website.
Single Stream Recycling
In an effort to encourage increased recycling by eliminating the inconvenient process of separating your recyclables into several different commodities, we are proud to provide our single stream recycling service to all our customers.

What is Single Stream(Zero Sort) Recycling?
Single Stream (also known as “Zero-Sort) recycling refers to a system in which all paper fibers and recyclable containers are mixed together in our collection trucks, instead of being sorted into separate commodities (newspaper, cardboard, plastic, glass etc.) by our customers and handled separately throughout the collection process. In single stream, both the collection and processing systems must be designed to handle this fully commingled mixture of recyclables.
Our rubbish and recycling services typically provides separate pick up for your trash and recyclables – we try our best not to mix recyclables and non-recyclables.
At the FCR facility, your recyclables, are dumped by trucks into piles. Piles are transferred onto conveyor belts, where they are sorted- by machines or by hand and then moved on to crushers and compactors. Once baled or bound, they are stacked and prepared for shipping. FCR, a North Carolina-based company that designs, builds and operates recycling facilities in 14 states, is owned by Casella Waste Systems, a publicly-traded national corporation headquartered in Vermont.
