Beginning September 8th, the Town will start an improvement project at Remsberg Park that is expected to continue for several months. The project will create ADA-accessible paths to all multipurpose and baseball fields, add new bleachers, and provide additional ADA parking.

All fields will remain open during construction; however, some paths and access points may be temporarily closed.

Please follow posted signs and use caution around construction areas.

The Town of Middletown will be performing standard maintenance work on the sewer line beginning Wednesday, August 26th, 2026 for approximately 4 weeks. This could create unusual noise in the sewer connections to residences and could potentially create suction on residential traps and floor drains. Expect periodic short duration road closures when town crews are working in your neighborhood. Not all sections of town will have this work done. If you have any questions, please contact the Town Office at 301.371.6171.

The Town has been in contact with the trash hauler regarding our brown bag yard waste pickup. Please observe the following:

Branches: Branches placed out for pickup must be bundled, no more than 4 feet long and 4 inches in diameter, and light enough to be lifted by one person. For larger branches, residents may contact S&P Tree Care, All Branched Out Tree Services, or another tree service at their own expense.

Please note: Frederick County accepts yard waste drop-off of branches up to 6 inches in diameter and 8 feet in length.

Fallen trees from Town property will be cleaned up ASAP, any unsafe conditions will be a priority.
