New Bedford residents may drop off string lights at the Shawmut Avenue Transfer Station, located at 1103 Shawmut Avenue. The Transfer Station is open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from noon to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Proof of residency is required.

Dartmouth residents may drop off string lights at the Dartmouth Transfer Station, 976 Russells Mills Road. The hours are Tuesday & Thursday 7:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. A transfer station permit is required. Dartmouth residents who would like to obtain a transfer station permit or a day pass, may call the Dartmouth DPW at (508) 999-0740.

Holiday string lights can also be dropped off at Lowe’s, 55 Faunce Corner Mall Road, North Dartmouth through December 24th. “There is more waste around the holidays so this is an ideal time to start this program,” said Marissa Perez-Dormitzer, waste reduction manager for the Greater New Bedford Regional Refuse Management District.

More recycling and less solid waste helps to extend the life of the Crapo Hill Landfill, the disposal site for New Bedford and Dartmouth.

Please note:

• New Bedford residents only at the Shawmut Avenue Transfer Station, ID is required.
• Dartmouth residents only at the Dartmouth Transfer Station, transfer station permit required.
• String lights only.
• Program runs through January 31st.
