Recycling in Medway: A Local Guide
Medway is a town in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, about 30 miles southwest of Boston. It has two entries in the recycling directory that serve very different needs: a town-operated drop-off facility for hard-to-recycle materials, and a private junk-removal pickup service. Knowing the difference matters before you make the trip.
The Medway Recycling Center at 46 Broad Street is a town-run facility managed by the Department of Public Works. It accepts hard-to-recycle items that don't belong in the curbside bin — rigid plastics, scrap metal, tires, and electronics. Hours are Wednesday 12:00–3:00 PM and Saturday–Sunday 8:00 AM–3:00 PM; it is closed the other four days and on Christmas, New Year's Day, and Easter. Entry requires a valid Medway town windshield sticker — Medway residents only who participate in the town's Trash & Recycling Program. Payments are cash or check only. Contact the DPW at (508) 533-3275 or dpw@medwayma.gov.
Junk It Now! at 86 Holliston Street is a full-service junk removal and hauling company — it is not a drop-off facility. With over 35 years in business, the crew picks up from homes, apartments, offices, garages, and estates Sunday through Friday 8:00 AM–6:00 PM (closed Saturdays). They divert usable items to low-income housing donations and recycle what they can. A 10% discount applies for veterans and seniors. Call (508) 308-2279 to schedule a pickup.
Medway residents who need recycling options beyond the town center can find more choices in nearby communities. Millis and Milford are adjacent towns, and the Franklin Recycling Center at 257 Fisher St serves residents on that side of Norfolk County. Holliston, just north on Route 126, also has recycling resources. The Massachusetts state recycling page lists all town transfer stations and special collection programs.

What recyclables are NOT accepted at the Medway Recycling Center?
