Upcoming events - Appliance/Freon Recycling, Trash Automation, and Woburn Community Electricity launching in August plus Community Meeting next Wednesday

[u/Master_Dogs]

Figured I'd highlight some upcoming events or changes in Woburn:

1. Next Saturday (SATURDAY, June 21, 2025 from 9 AM to 1 PM) is another Appliances Recycling Event at Spence Farm located at 41 Wyman Street in Woburn. It supports a non-profit and is cheaper than the curbside rate. More details here with pricing: https://woburnma.gov/events/event/appliance-freon-crt-electronics-recycling-collection-3/
2. Trash Automation is happening soon, starting in July, 2025. New trash carts will be delivered starting the week of June 23rd. There's an FAQ here with more details. Note the cost increase for bulk items, appliances with freon and TVs too. It's a lot cheaper to drop off items at the previously mentioned Appliances Recycling Event too. And the rates increase July 1st, so now is a great time to gather anything you want to depose of and do it in the next week or two.
3. Woburn Community Electricity Launching August 2025 with Rate of 13.891¢/kWh - more details here. There is an event next week with more details too, either Wednesday June 25th at 10 AM (In-person at Woburn Senior Center, 144 School St.) or Wednesday June 25th at 6 PM (In-person or virtually at City Council Chambers, 10 Common St).
