Rules in Middlesex County

Many Middlesex County towns run residents-only transfer stations that require a town permit or sticker, and several do not accept regular household trash (residents use a private hauler or bag stickers). Check your town's rules before you go. Source

Before you go

A cargo net or tarp keeps bags and boards in place and saves an uncovered-load fee.
Most dumps turn away hazardous waste, so keep paint and chemicals out of the load.
Sort recyclables, metal and yard waste before you go; many sites have separate areas for them.
