Recycling in Newton: A Local Guide
Newton, Massachusetts — one of Greater Boston's largest cities — is home to two specialty recycling services: one for mattresses and one for unwanted vehicles. Mattress Pro Recycling at 221 Jackson Street accepts mattresses and box springs of any size for curbside pickup seven days a week. Customers pay a flat $125 fee per item, schedule online at mattressprorecycling.com, leave the mattress outside by 2:00 p.m., and the crew collects it by 7:00 p.m. — no need to be home. The company is listed in the RecyclingWorks Massachusetts database, confirming a diversion-focused approach rather than simple landfill disposal.
For junk vehicles, Mass Junk Car – Cash for Cars at 727 Washington Street provides free towing and pays cash starting at $200 for small cars up to $400 or more for trucks and vans. The service covers all of Massachusetts and Rhode Island; the driver handles the paperwork. Neither of these Newton businesses is a general-purpose household recyclables drop-off. Newton residents seeking to recycle plastics, paper, cardboard, glass, or electronics should contact the Newton Resource Recovery Center at 115 Rumford Avenue, Auburndale (operated by the city's Department of Public Works).
Newton sits within a dense cluster of Greater Boston communities, all of which have their own recycling programs. Neighboring cities with recycling options include Cambridge, Waltham, Needham, Wellesley, and Framingham. The Massachusetts DEP's RecyclingWorks program maintains a statewide directory of specialty recyclers for hard-to-recycle items such as mattresses, electronics, and textiles.
Mattress Pro Recycling's service area extends across more than 25 Greater Boston communities beyond Newton itself — including Brookline, Watertown, Cambridge, Belmont, Somerville, Natick, and others.
