Cell Phone & Toner Cartridge & Tyvek Envelope Recycling Cell phones: toner cartridges and tyvek envelopes can be brought to the Public Works Department for recycling anytime during regular working hours. All items are recycled and can be dropped off at no charge.

Grass Disposal
Just a reminder that in accordance with State Law grass can no longer be thrown away as regular garbage. The City of Middletown suggests leaving the clippings on the lawn for fertilization. Grass clippings can also be composted or used as mulch. For a free brochure, contact the City Recycling Coordinator at 344-3526 or E-mail her at: kim.orourke@cityofmiddletown.com. If residents occasionally cannot leave it on the lawn, they can bring it to the Recycling Center for composting.  All grass must be emptied out of bags and in order to reduce odors, we ask residents not to store grass in bags for long periods of time before delivery to the Recycling Center.

Recycling Nickel Cadmium Batteries: (860) 344-3526

Nickel Cadmium batteries (or ni-cads) are mandated by state law to be recycled. Cadmium is extremely toxic to our health and environment if disposed of improperly. Ni-cads are found in portable telephones, radios, and power tools, and they are usually marked "nickel cadmium - dispose of properly." In Connecticut, these batteries can be brought back to a retail drop off store. Stores that process the recycling of the batteries in Middletown are:

  • Boomer McCloud on DeKoven Drive
  • Midtown Photo on Main Street
  • Radio Shack on Washington Street
  • Staples on Washington Street

Bulky Waste Collection

The Bulk Waste Collection Service is suspended each year from Oct. 20 - Dec. 31 due to a shifting of resources for fall leaf collection. Please schedule your collections before or after these dates. Bulk waste is collected in the winter months, weather permitting.

Click here for information on the Recycling Center and Bulk Waste Charges.

The City offers a collection once every three years for bulky waste materials.  The acceptable bulky waste items must be placed at the curb neatly for collection. Because the Middletown landfill is closed, only certain items can be collected. The following items are acceptable:

  • Limited demolition and construction debris
  • Wood and wooden furniture
  • Brush - cut to 4' lengths and no more than 6" in diameter
  • Scrap metal and household appliances

Items such as brush, wood, and metal must be placed in their respective piles. Brush must also be cut to 4' lengths and tied with string.

The following items are NOT acceptable in the bulk waste collection:

  • Books
  • Plastics and plastic toys
  • Cardboard boxes
  • Oil-based paint
  • Hazardous waste
  • Grass clippings
  • Rugs
  • Electronics - televisions, computers, VCR, DVD, telephones, radios

The bulk waste pick-up is only available to residents of 1-3 family homes and condominium complexes once every three years. For more information, call (860) 344-3511.

If you are not eligible for your pickup, these same items can be brought to the City Recycling Center.  Bulky items will be weighed and charged at the rate of $84.00 per ton.  Payment can be made by credit card or check at the Recycling Center.

Sanitation District Bulky Waste Collection: (860) 347-6247

If you live in the City Sanitation District and wish to dispose of bulky material, such as mattresses, furniture, scrap metal or brush, call the above number on Tuesday before 3 PM. Bulky material is collected every Wednesday in the Sanitation District. The material must be placed neatly at the curb and separated into piles. The bulk collection is not offered during holiday weeks.
