Local services and rules

Moving to Middletown: who to call and what the city asks.

Household trash in Middletown must be picked up by a curbside service. Most addresses use private haulers, and the City Sanitation District serves the central and northern part of Middletown directly. The Middletown Recycling Center at 185 Johnson Street takes recyclables and bulk waste from Middletown residents and businesses only, and its Swap Shack lets residents donate or take useable household items for free.

Parking permits for municipal lots

The city's Parking Department sells permits for municipal lots. The lots named are the Arcade, Broad Street, Green Street North, Green Street South, Lot A (Kid City) and Melilli Plaza lots.

Snow emergency parking bans and sidewalks

When a snow emergency parking ban is declared, all vehicles must be removed from all city streets. A ban is announced on the city website home page and on the Public Works Facebook page.

A city ordinance requires property owners or occupants to clear sidewalks within 24 hours after a storm.

Carts from Public Works and from private haulers

Setting up service in the City Sanitation District is done through the Public Works Department, which provides the carts and dumpsters. Every trash hauler in Middletown provides recycling carts along with garbage containers.

Water and Sewer Department at 82 Berlin Street

Water and sewer service starts with a signed application for service. The same form is used when moving into an existing building that already has water or sewer service.

The Water and Sewer Department office is at 82 Berlin Street, where the application can be submitted in person.

Bulk items and brush pickup

Furniture, appliances, mattresses and similar bulky household items are collected separately from regular trash. Brush and branches under 6 inches in diameter are picked up free of charge on request from spring through fall.

Recycling Center tags, electronics and hazardous waste days

Entry to the Recycling Center requires a vehicle tag, which residents can get in person at the Department of Public Works in City Hall, online or by mail. Household electronics from residents are accepted at the Recycling Center at no charge.

Clothing, linens, shoes and other textiles can go in collection bins at most elementary schools, the Senior Center and the Recycling Center. Latex and oil-based paint goes to the household hazardous waste collection day.

Household hazardous waste is handled at regional collection events run with the Lower Connecticut River Valley Council of Governments, and Middletown residents attend at no charge.

River Valley Transit and CTtransit

River Valley Transit runs fixed bus routes, ADA paratransit, on-demand and taxi-voucher service across a regional area that includes the City of Middletown. CTtransit runs a local fixed bus route from Middletown to Hartford, plus commuter bus service from park and ride lots to Hartford.

Library cards and the Fair Rent Commission

Middletown residents can apply for or renew library cards online through the library's website.

Middletown has a Fair Rent Commission that handles landlord and tenant rent complaints and starts with mediation between the parties.
