***MIDDLESEX COUNTY IMPROVEMENT AUTHORITY (MCIA) MESSAGE REGARDING AUTOMATED SIDE LOAD (ASL) RECYCLING CART***

The automated side load (ASL) recycling cart should not be placed too close to a car, mailbox or telephone pole that can get in the way of the robotic arm.

Residents should also avoid putting extra cardboard outside the ASL cart. Any material not placed inside the cart will not be collected.

To ensure the recycling crew is efficiently and safely picking up the materials, residents are asked to cut up cardboard when placing material in the carts.

Thank you.

***ASL RECYCLING PROGRAM REMINDER***

The North Brunswick Department of Public Works would like to remind residents who have the automated side load (ASL) recycling carts to only use them for curbside collection. DO NOT place the old recycling bin(s) next to the ASL cart at the curb. They will not be collected.

All recycling materials must be placed inside the ASL cart. Recyclables accepted include:

• Clean paper, dry cardboard
• Plastic bottles and plastics, #1 – 7
• Metal cans for soups and vegetables
• Glass jars and bottles
