Middletown homes get Newport Water and curbside yard waste with strict sorting rules. One local crew mows, edges, cleans up leaves and brush and plants for Middletown homes and rentals, bagging and separating debris the way the town's pickup needs it.
Updated November 11, 2026
Middletown has regular suburban lots with established lawns, beach-area yards with salt spray and sandy soil near Second Beach and Easton's Pond, and rental properties where owners need the yard kept up on a schedule.
Middletown's yard waste pickup won't take grass in bags and wants leaves, clippings and brush kept separate. Middletown is served by Newport Water, whose supply comes from nine reservoirs on and near Aquidneck Island.
