Your Big Green Can Just Got Greener

Your Big Green Can just got greener and recycling just got easier.

Waste Management and the City of Providence have delivered new gray trash barrels to city residents and converted the Big Green Cans to recycling. The program is already working to improve recycling rates across the city.

With the Big Green Can, you don't need to sort your recycling. Put your plastics, paper, glass, metal cans and foil together in the Big Green Can. When residents recycle, Providence saves money and we support a more sustainable future.
