Residential Trash out Illegally

Noted. Good afternoon There is no violation to be issued at this time At this time, the City’s residential mattress collection program is limited to properties with six (6) units or fewer. Buildings with more than six units are considered commercial or large multi-unit properties and are not eligible for the City’s curbside mattress collection service. In these situations, property owners, management companies, or residents must arrange for private recycling or disposal services. Please note that under Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) regulations, mattresses are banned from disposal in the regular trash stream and must be recycled through an approved program or vendor. MassDEP provides additional information regarding the mattress waste ban, recycling requirements, and available recycling resources at the links below: MassDEP Mattress Recycling Information: https://www.mass.gov/service-details/mattress-recycling MassDEP Waste Disposal Ban Information: https://www.mass.gov/guides/massdep-waste-disposal-bans Residents and property managers may also use MassDEP’s recycling directory to locate private recycling and disposal options in their area: https://www.mass.gov/info-details/how-where-to-recycle We appreciate your understanding and cooperation regarding the State’s recycling requirements and the City’s collection guidelines.
