Sanitation / Trash Collection

The Town of Northfield provides its residents with weekly curbside collection of household trash through a contract with Casella Resource Solutions. Curbside collection is provided only for residential taxpayers. Commercial and industrial units must contract with a private provider for trash removal. Apartments and other properties containing more than two residential units or structures on a parcel are considered commercial for the purposes of trash collection.

Effective April 1, 2024 all residential curbside collection will require a 95 gallon barrel for each residence. If you are a two family home which is registered as a two family with the Town you are allotted up to 2 - 95 gallon barrels. Each barrel is marked with a serial number and recorded with Casella. No overage of trash or bags, boxes, loose trash, etc. on the side will be collected.  If you have trash which is over the required limit, you must seek alternate options to dispose of said trash, one option could includes bringing it to the Transfer Station during normal business hours and pay $5 per bag.  

“Household trash” is considered that trash such as food packaging, scraps, disposables, etc. that is typically produced by a residential home. It does not include hazardous waste, larger items such as old furniture, electronics, appliances, scrap lumber and other materials remaining from construction projects.
