The 'FALL' version of Big Dumpster Day is Saturday, October 4, 2025. The event will be held from 7:00 AM until 12:00 noon at the 577 West Street location opposite Parker Water Wells.

Middletown Springs residents may discard large, unused or unwanted items such as furniture, mattresses, children's toys, and small amounts of construction/demolition debris that do not qualify as normal household trash. (NO CONTRACTORS, PLEASE). The charge per vehicle or trailer load is $10.00; pickup truck and trailer loads are $10.00 each (or $20.00). There is no charge for metal-only loads.

SPECIAL NOTES: In the interest of staff safety and efficiency, any smallish items must be in contractor bags or some form of disposable container as much as reasonably possible. This will streamline and aid in the unloading process and create a safer work environment as well. Non-conforming loads may be turned away at the staff's discretion.

Regular household trash and recyclable items, including electronics, MUST BE taken to the Ft. Dumpster facility as usual. Items containing refrigerants, such as air conditioners, freezers, refrigerators, dehumidifiers, etc., are subject to a $25.00 fee per item.

PLEASE NOTE that hazardous materials such as paints, oils, solvents, propane tanks, and the like are NOT accepted at this event. (Hazardous Waste Event info is below)

Again, metal items may be disposed of at no charge. The work crew would greatly appreciate mixed loads to be separated as much as possible in order to streamline the unloading process.

Please bring exact change or a personal check in the correct amount (payable to the Town of Middletown Springs). Please remain in your vehicle unless instructed otherwise. The Town of Middletown Springs SHALL NOT be responsible for any damages that may occur during the loading or unloading process.
