Cart Information
The Town of Braintree has an automated trash and recycling collection service. A 64 or 35 gallon trash and recycling cart is given to each residence when the trash and recycling fee is paid. These carts are the property of the Town and stay with the house.
35 gallon carts are available for those who do not have the need for the larger cart. Please call the Trash/Recycling office 781-794-8088 for details.
