Trash and recycling collection in Bristol County is handled by each municipality. Fall River, New Bedford, and Taunton provide weekly curbside pickup. MassDEP waste bans prohibit disposal of certain materials.
Each Bristol County city or town contracts separately for solid waste. Fall River provides weekly automated cart collection of trash and every-other-week recycling. New Bedford operates municipal curbside pickup weekly citywide with ABC Disposal as hauler. Taunton offers weekly trash collection through a municipal contract. Bins must be curbside by 7 AM on the assigned day. Holiday weeks shift pickup by one day. Contaminated recycling carts are tagged and left behind. MassDEP solid waste regulations (310 CMR 19.017) ban disposal of leaves/yard waste, cardboard, metal, glass, cathode-ray tubes, asphalt/brick/concrete, and mattresses from the trash stream.
Missed pickup from improper scheduling: resident must wait until next week. Repeated bin rule violations: $50 to $200 under local code. Trashing banned materials: state MassDEP penalties.
