TRASH COLLECTION
Trash Collection Rules and Guidelines
Middletown, CT Program | Food Scraps | What to Recycle | Trash Collection | FAQs
As part of the Co-collection pilot program, all regular household trash should be bagged only in the official City-issued Orange trash bags before being placed out in your trash cart for collection.
Each household and business in the Sanitation District will be provided with two 15-gallon orange trash bags and one 8-gallon green food scraps bag per week for the length of the pilot program. If after recycling and separating out your food waste, you find that your household needs more than 2 bags per week, you can purchase additional trash bags at local retailers. (Retailer list to be provided at a later date.)
Place your Orange trash bags and Green Food scraps bag in your trash cart and place curbside by 7am on your collection day.
Do not place the following items in the Orange city-approved bags:
-
Recyclable plastic, glass, or metal (place in recycling bin)
-
Food scraps (use green bags)
-
Yard waste (wait for seasonal brush pick up or bring to Recycling Center)
-
Dirt, sod, concrete, or rock
-
Construction/demolition debris
-
Hot ashes or flammable materials such as oil, gas, or paint
