There is a $5 service fee, per tree, for this program.

Please note that the Christmas Tree Recycling Program was modified in 2021 and tree drop off is no longer allowed at the Maynard Boys and Girls club parking lot.

Mattresses

November 2022: The Department of Environmental Protection has issued an order adding Mattresses and Textiles to the list of materials banned from disposal or transport in the solid waste stream in Massachusetts. Mattresses and box springs are made up of almost entirely recyclable materials including metal, wood, textile, and polyurethane foam. They are difficult to manage at landfills and incinerators because they are bulky, hard to compact and can get caught in incinerator processing equipment. That is why most facilities currently apply surcharges to the disposal of these items.

Maynard residents will have the ability to use Recycle Center during our Recycle Center Saturdays. Cost will be $40 per item, Mattress and or Box spring. (Residents will also have the ability to have curbside pickup services by Tough Stuff Recycling by going to their website at toughstuffrecycling.com or calling 1-800-273-4137)

Textiles:

CMRK, Inc. has been contracted for clothing, textile and shoe recovery services. There are recovery bins located outside the gate of the Highway Garage located at 38 Winter Street. These bins are accessible 24/7. For additional information, please visit their website.
