The Middletown Recycling Center, located at 185 Johnson Street, Middletown, accepts recyclable materials and bulk waste generated in Middletown, but does not accept regular household trash. Operating hours are Monday to Friday from 7 AM to 2:45 PM, with additional hours on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays from 7 AM to 11:45 AM during December to March and July to August, and every Saturday from 7 AM to 11:45 AM from April to June and September to November.
