Yard Waste collection (seasonal)

For your convenience, you may download the Yard Waste Collection Schedule here. (pdf)

 

    In an effort to keep our environment and streets clean the Street Department at Public Works would like to urge the residents of Middletown to adopt environmentally friendly grass practices. For example, the practice of leaving grass clippings on lawns (mulching) or composting to help alleviate the amount of grass being placed at curbside to be picked up.  If you are unable to mulch or compost, please place your grass clippings into orderly piles along the curb for pick up.  Keep all grass clippings separate from other yard waste. DO NOT PLACE GRASS IN BAGS as this will not be picked up.

 

The Street Department will not pick up sod, stumps, dirt, animal waste or any other material considered trash, or materials brought in from outside of the Town of Middletown.

Chippable material such as tree limbs, branches, small bushes and sticks will also be picked up at curbside. Keep all chippable material separate from other yard waste so collection machinery does not become damaged. After the holidays, Christmas trees will be picked up by the Town's streets department following the Yard Waste Collection Schedule listed below. Christmas trees will not be collected by the trash collector.
