The Wellesley Recycling and Disposal Facility has a few dates for you to put on your calendar. Let them help you keep things ship-shape in your home by getting rid of your old documents and paint.
Documents destruction service — September 22, 2019
The RDF has hired a professional, full-service document destruction company that will destroy papers on-site in a mobile shredding truck. The company is bonded and insured, guaranteeing the highest level of security. No binders, x-rays plastic folders or metal can go through the shredding machine. Please note: residents cannot bring home the material after it is shredded.
DATE: Sunday, September 22, 2019
TIME: 10am – 3pm
LOCATION: RDF, 169 Great Plain Ave., Wellesley
Paint drop-off day — October 5, 2019
Bring your old latex and oil-based alkyd paint to the Wellesley RDF for recycling at the paint shed. This is the last paint drop-off day until Spring 2020.
DATE: Saturday, October 5, 2019
TIME: 9am – 1pm
LOCATION: RDF, 169 Great Plain Ave., Wellesley
Columbus Day, RDF closed — October 14, 2019
The RDF will be closed on Monday, October 14, 2019 in observance of Columbus Day, which is a federal government holiday.
Art supplies collection — October 19 & 20, 2019
Art supplies will be collected over the weekend of October 19 – 20 at the Wellesley Recycling & Disposal Facility’s give-and-take area to support artists who are homeless or living on a low income.
The supplies will be collected on behalf of non-profit Common Art, which is part of a Boston-based non-denominational street ministry begun in 1999. Every Wednesday, Emmanuel Church on Newbury Street in the Back Bay donates its parish hall to provide studio space and materials for indigent artists. The artists are encouraged to put a price on their work and Common Art tries to sell it, with all proceeds going to the artist.
Needed are canvases, professional quality brushes, mats and professional frames with our without glass (9×12 or larger), acrylic and watercolor paints (no oil), watercolor and sketching paper, yarn, fabric, beads, costume jewelry, and stained glass.
Please inform the Friends of Recycling volunteer on duty at the RDF that your donation is designated for this drive.

Thank you for sharing these RDF dates with the community. I don’t go to the RDF weekly so I don’t always see the banners overhead announcing events.
RDF event dates are also posted on the RDF calendar found on the Town website https://wellesleyma.gov/331/Recycling-Disposal-Facility
