(800) 488-6242

Middlesex Recycling Center is the local recycling center on Mountain Ave that most Middlesex residents use for drop-offs. Neighbors bring household recyclables, cardboard, metal, and other common recyclables here instead of the curb or landfill. It’s a busy, practical place serving a lot of suburban and small commercial traffic from around town.

A modest entrance booth marks the driveway and cars will pull up to be directed where to go. There’s usually a scale somewhere near the entrance/exit so vehicles are weighed for larger loads. Recycling bins and collection bays sit out in the open-paper and cardboard often to one side, mixed containers in another, and a few larger bays for bulky recyclables. Weekends and spring cleanup days get noticeably backed up, so expect some waiting and a bit of traffic through the lot.

Before You Go

  • Separate cardboard and paper ahead of time and flatten boxes-it speeds things up once at the bins.
  • Bring a tarp or straps for loose material so nothing blows out during the drive in and out.
  • Aim for midweek or early morning to avoid the longer weekend lines common at county-area recycling centers.
