Norfolk County does not operate trash collection. Each of the 28 municipalities contracts its own waste hauler or runs municipal DPW pickup. Schedules and rules differ significantly town by town.
Norfolk County government does not provide trash collection. Each municipality arranges its own service — Quincy, Weymouth, and Braintree operate municipal DPW collection; Brookline contracts private haulers; Dedham uses a municipal program with automated carts. Typical schedules are weekly curbside collection by assigned day with bins out by 7 AM. Massachusetts banned several items from disposal under 310 CMR 19.017 including mattresses, textiles, food waste from large generators, and electronics. Holiday delays typically push pickup forward one day. Missed pickups should be reported to the municipal DPW, not the county.
No county enforcement. Missed pickup reports go to local DPW. Bin rule violations: $50-$200 per town. MassDEP waste ban violations: up to $25,000 under 310 CMR 19.017.
