Details of the trash, recycling, and yard waste collection for 2026 are available in the Department of Public Works’ calendar. The calendars were mailed to homes and are available online. See details in the announcement sent out by the City of Watertown, below.
2026 Trash and Recycling Calendars
Please be aware that the 2026 Trash and Recycling Calendar will be arriving in your mailbox soon.
In addition to the calendar showing which days your trash, recycling and yard waste will be picked up, there is also useful information about composting, how to dispose of mattresses, furniture, clothing and TVs, the hours and location of the Recycle Center and what you can bring there, and a guide to what materials are and are not recyclable.
You can also see the calendar on the Trash and Recycling page on our website where you can download it if you can’t find the copy that you received in the mail.
