***NEW CURBSIDE RECYCLING PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT***

The Middlesex County Improvement Authority (MCIA) is pleased to announce the implementation of Automatic Side Load (ASL) service beginning August 1, 2025.

ASL service utilizes 95-gallon wheeled carts with lids which will replace the blue barrels or rectangular carts currently in use. You are receiving your new cart in advance of the start of the program which is August 1, 2025. You should continue using your existing blue containers until your first recycling pick-up in August at which time you MUST use your new cart.

The cart delivered to you has a serial number and barcode linked to your address. If you should move out of your address, the cart must remain for the new resident. You may keep your old totes and bins if you wish, however they can no longer be used for curbside recycling once ASL service begins on August 1. You can recycle your old blue containers by placing them in the new cart for pick-up.

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RECYCLING SCHEDULE IS NOT CHANGING!
