Medfield’s Furniture Disposal Regulations: Landfill Bans, Recycling, and State Compliance

Medfield enforces strict compliance with Massachusetts solid waste regulations, including landfill bans on certain furniture components. Under the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) rules, mattresses, box springs, and electronics are prohibited from landfill disposal and must be recycled or processed through designated programs. Residents are required to separate recyclable materials and avoid placing banned items in regular trash. The DPW provides guidance on proper sorting and directs residents to approved recycling centers. Violations of landfill bans may result in fines or refusal of collection. For hazardous materials such as upholstered furniture with embedded electronics or treated wood, residents must use the Household Hazardous Waste facility, open Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

• Mattresses, box springs, and electronics: landfill ban enforced
• Use designated recycling programs for banned items
