Come See What We Do
We think it's incredibly important for all Rhode Islanders to see what happens when their recycling, leaf & yard debris, and trash leave the curb. We especially welcome residents of our host community to come and see what we do at our facility in Johnston. You can schedule a tour here.

We take odor complaints seriously. Per § 23-18.9-14 (d) we maintain six ambient air monitoring stations in Johnston and nearby Cranston. To report an odor, please fill out this form.
