HOPKINTON (CBS) -- Police are investigating after a body was found at a Hopkinton recycling facility.

Hopkinton Police said the body, which was found at 8:40 this morning at the Municipal Recycling Center on Wood Street, was that of a 40-year-old male.

Workers found the body in items that were brought to building 6 at the recycling center, owned by E.L. Harvey and Sons.
