Reply to comment by grem111 in Recycling drop-off locations? by thegreatfrontholio

If they live in an apartment complex it's probably not town trash pickup, it's a private contract. I know in Providence the city only provides trash pickup to buildings up to 3 (or 4 maybe) units in size.

This is correct. In most municipalities, anything over 4 units falls outside of the city or town’s responsibility to collect trash and recycling.

That being said, they are required by law to contract with a recycling company. If they don’t offer this option to you, they are in violation. You can call DEM to report it. I’d also call the town as suggested.
