Used motor oil is regulated as a hazardous waste in Massachusetts. Used oil can be disposed of in several ways, including: 

• Returning it to the store where it was purchased 
• Taking it to a municipal collection center or hazardous waste collection event
• Take it to NEDT Hazardous Waste Facility in Sutton MA 866-769-1621
• Taking it to some service stations and repair shops that burn oil 
• Taking it to some quick oil change chains 

Seekonk DPW and the Transfer Station do not accept used motor oil.

Massachusetts law requires motor oil retailers to accept up to two gallons of used oil per person per day from customers who have a receipt. Some stores and gas stations may also accept used oil from customers who didn't buy it from them.

Yard waste is picked up various time periods throughout the year. For the month of January, only Christmas trees will be picked up. Please remove all decorations/ornaments/tinsel. Regular Yard waste (grass, leaves, brush & branches smaller than 1.5in diameter) is picked up for the month of May (starting the first full week of the calendar month), for the month of October (starting the week after Columbus Day), for the entire month of November, and through the first week of December. 

Grass, leaves and brush should be in PAPER BAGS. Branches should be in 3ft bundles tied with twine, or in a PAPER BAG. Please do not overfill fill your bags or make them too heavy. The weight limit is 30lbs, and there is a limit of 25 bags/bundles per home. If they are too heavy we will be unable to lift them into our trucks. Bags that are left at the curb for extended periods may become weak and break. We try to maintain the same pickup schedule as your trash/recycling, but may not always be able to pickup on the same day. Only put your yard waste at the curb a day before it is scheduled for pick up/your regular trash pickup day.

Residents may DROP OFF Yard Waste YEAR ROUND at TARF (351 Fall River Ave Seekonk) Monday-Thursday 7am-3pm Friday 6:15-9:45am, Saturdays April-November 8am-12pm, and 2nd & 4th Saturdays December-March 8am-12pm.

YES! The Seekonk Town Trash program is full PAYT (Pay-As-You-Throw) which means all trash must be contained in official town trash bags before being placed in the curbside bins to be picked up. If you are not using these bags for your trash, then you are not paying for your trash. 

The annual fee paid by residents is a flat rate fee that is set to go up each year for the term of the contract-and is for the pickup service. The blue bag fees are for the actual weight of the trash at a rate set to go up each year for the term of the contract-and is for the tipping fees. 

If a resident is not using blue bags, then the price goes up for everyone as that trash is still being picked up and we still have to pay that bill as a Town. Also, only accepted items should be placed in the recycling cart, if incorrect items are placed in the recycling the load is contaminated and costs us more to be processed. NO PLASTIC BAGS in the recycling! Click here for a list acceptable items. 

If you have concerns about non compliance for our trash or recycling program, please fill out this form to document the concern.
