Recycling Reminder: Plastic Toys, Pools, Aren't Trash
Coventry residents can drop off rigid plastic items like chairs, buckets, kiddie pools and more at the town's transfer station for free.
COVENTRY, RI — If your child outgrows their classic blue plastic kiddie pool this summer or you're ready to replace those old, white plastic chairs, don't break them up and put them in the trash.

The town's transfer station is located behind the library/town hall complex at 1670 Flat River Rd. and is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m.to 12 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.
