The can & bottle redemption shack at the RTS is BACK! 
Donate your cans & bottles and turn them into MILK!

Needham resident, Jeff Dinneen has been collecting and recycling around town…Now his project will be at the Needham RTS and easily available to all who want to donate their can & bottle deposits. Jeff recycles the donated cans & bottles and then uses the funds collected to purchase milk for the Council Food Pantry.  We, in turn, distribute the milk to income-eligible Needham residents….a WIN/WIN!

Thank you to Jeff and to the Town of Needham for supporting this very worthy project!

Monday, September 17th, 7:15 -8 p.m. followed by wine & cheese.

Did you know? For over 25 years the Council has contracted for around-town transportation on a BusyBee van…they went out of business and so did our community van…but…it is back! Thanks to a partnership with the Charles River YMCA we can once again offer residents rides around town.

The Y van will return on Monday, August 20th and will run Mon/Wed/Fri between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.  The van is not handicapped accessible; independent mobility is required.

Van reservations are required in advance, by phone call only at 781-444-2415
