JACKSON — Out of concern for employees being exposed to the coronavirus, the town of Jackson says it will no longer accept recyclables, construction material, metal, furniture, mattresses or brush at the transfer station it operates jointly with Bartlett and Hart's Location.

Tamworth selectmen also created a new policy this week saying the town is no longer recycling until the coronavirus outbreak subsides. They are  encouraging people to hold onto their recyclables or dump them into the regular household waste.
