Private Haulers’ Carts
Private haulers are currently collecting their garbage cans. If your garbage cart has not been picked up yet, please remove it from the curb and place it in a clearly visible location on your property. The Township is not able to recycle carts from private haulers since they are deemed private property. Please contact your private hauler if you have additional questions regarding cart retrieval.
If you have any questions regarding the one-time collection, please call the Garbage & Recycling hotline at 732-615-3233 or email recycling@middletownnj.org.
