Pay As You Throw Cart Delivery Begins June 8—Verify Your Address & Eligibility
The Town of Westford’s Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) trash program will begin in July 2026, and eligible households will receive a Town-issued 35-gallon trash cart for curbside pickup, with delivery beginning June 8.
Before cart delivery begins on June 8, residents are encouraged to use the Town’s online Cart Eligibility Tool here: Curbside Recycling and Trash | Westford, MA to confirm their household’s eligibility and verify that the correct number of carts is assigned to their property. This step is important to help ensure carts are delivered accurately and on schedule.
Eligible properties include single-family homes, multifamily homes with three units or less, and approved accessory dwelling units (ADUs).
If the information displayed is correct, no further action is needed.
Residents who need assistance may contact the Town Manager’s Office at (978) 692-5501 or visit the PAYT webpage Westford Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) Program
Robinson School Project Update
Recent work has focused on collecting data on the existing facility conditions of Robinson and Abbot, including the age and condition of building systems, site constraints, and available buildable acreage for renovation or construction.

We have added a new additional community forum focused on Education, on June 1, at 6PM at Millennium building, or on Zoom (https://tinyurl.com/
