Recycling in Malden, MA
Malden uses pay-as-you-throw trash bags or Trash Tags, and the DPW Yard at 356 Commercial Street holds seasonal Hazardous Waste Recycling Days (cash fees) for TVs and monitors ($25), oil paint, car batteries and tires. Mattresses can no longer go out as bulk items; the City lists private recycling vendors instead.
