Do I need a permit to use the Framingham Recycling Drop-Off Center?

Yes. A $20 annual residential permit (or $50 for businesses) is required. Permits are available to Framingham residents who receive the city's curbside trash and recycling service. Non-residents are not admitted.

Does Framingham's drop-off center accept mattresses and tires?

Yes to both. Mattresses and box springs are accepted for $20 each, and tires are $2 per tire regardless of size. These fees apply year-round whenever the facility is open.

Can I drop off old paint at the Framingham Recycling Center?

Oil-based paints, lacquers, and polyurethane are only accepted during the city's annual Household Hazardous Waste Day event — not during regular drop-off hours. Latex paint is generally not accepted. Check framinghamma.gov for the next HHW event date.
