Loading Garbage, Recycling & Green Cart…
What goes out each week in the Town of Lunenburg's four-stream collection, the 6 a.m. set-out, summer weekly compost, and where to look up your exact day.
Loading the latest information…
The Town of Lunenburg collects four sorted streams on a two-week cycle. Your collection day depends on which street you live on — look it up below. The part people most often mix up: recyclable paper goes out in its own clear bag, separate from the blue-bag recyclables, and the streams alternate from week to week. Here is what goes out each kind of week, with the rules and where to find your exact day.
| Out by 6 a.m. on your collection day | |

Week A — Recyclables & Paper No garbage or green cart this week. |
