No curbside service in Middleton
The town offers no curbside trash, recycling or bulky pickup. The Health Department posts a list of licensed trash haulers, and the Transfer Station on Natsue Way handles the rest. It is open Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, 8 am to 4 pm. A resident sticker is $195 for the first car in a household, $50 for each added car, or $45 for recycling only, and it goes only to owners of vehicles registered in Middleton.
A new renter, a landlord or a family clearing a parent's house may not qualify.
Fees on top of the sticker
The sticker is only the entry, and the extra fees add up quickly for a house cleanout. Bulk items such as sofas, desks and dressers are $50 each, mattresses and box springs $60 each, and TVs, monitors, computers and microwaves $50 each. Each needs its own sticker. Construction waste, sealed containers and animal carcasses are prohibited, and freon appliances are refused unless a certified vendor has evacuated them.
That makes a four-piece bedroom set $200 in fees before the drive. The station also refuses construction waste, so a bathroom or kitchen remodel cannot go there at all. Hazardous items such as gasoline, pesticides, oil-based paint and car batteries are refused too and wait for the tri-town collection day.
Big lots, long driveways, limited days
Middleton homes sit on larger wooded lots with long driveways, so a cleanout often means a truck load, not a bag. With the Transfer Station closed Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, a weekday move-out has nowhere to go. Move-outs for rentals along Route 114 often fall on the first or last day of the month, which may not be a Wednesday, Saturday or Sunday. We reach Middleton in 35 to 45 minutes from Melrose and price by item: sofa $139, regular dresser $99, standard appliance $119 with freon recovery included, $159 minimum.
