Abington's Compost Site and Recycling Program is located at 171 Groveland Street. 

Leaves and grass clippings that are dropped off are ground into compost. A 30 yard rollover for the collection of scrap metal is also available. Abington residents are welcome to obtain compost and drop scrap metal off for free.

For a nominal fee, recycling of CRTs (televisions/computers and monitors) printers, propane tanks, air conditioners, microwaves, space heaters and mattresses are accepted at the compost site. Payment by checks only can be made at the site. Learn more about what can be recycled and their accompanying fees.

The mattress collection program is available year-round. During the Compost Site’s off-season, appointments can be made with the Department of Health during Town Hall hours for residents to recycle their mattress and box springs. The fee is $30.00 per unit, payment by checks only can be made at the site. Call (781) 982-2119.

The Groveland Street site is run by volunteers from the senior tax rebate program. They cannot help unload any items.
