Who can use it

The facility serves North Kingstown residents and small businesses only. Follow the posted instructions on site. Recyclable mattresses go in a separate container, so call the station at (401) 295-4766 before you bring one. The compost facility on the same site offers finished compost for gardens.

Rhode Island law keeps car batteries out of the trash: they have to go back to a dealer, a licensed recycler or Resource Recovery. TVs, computers, monitors, laptops, tablets and mercury products are banned from landfill disposal in the state. Tires and appliances aren't banned outright, but Resource Recovery recycles them, and town transfer stations charge for them.
