Brush Collection Begins March 19
Middletown Township’s 2012 Curbside Brush Collection will begin in Zones A & B on March 19, followed by Zones C & D on March 26; Zones E & G on April 2; Zones J & L on April 16, Zones I & K on April 23; and Zones F & H on April 30.
Please don’t place material at the curb earlier than seven days before a zone’s start date as doing so creates a hazard for pedestrians and drivers. Leaves, tree stumps, lumber, plywood, fence posts, railroad ties, or garbage will not be collected, said Public Works Director Ted E. Maloney.
Leaves will not be collected until Fall 2012.
Residents or their landscapers can bring leaves to the Recycling Center at 52 Kanes Lane until June 1st. Brush is accepted year-round, he said.

Election Days Schedule Change
School Board Election Moved to NovemberThe Township of Middletown in support of the Middletown Board of Education has agreed to move the School Board Election to the General Election in November. Beginning this year the Board of Education, authorized by Senate Bill 3148, will hold their Election on the Board Members on the first Tuesday, after the first Monday of November instead of April. Voters will now be able to vote on the members for the School Board while voting on their State, Federal and Local Officials in the Township. The Board of Education also believes this will allow for increased participation and foster a positive interest in our Public Schools.
The Middletown Board of Education also believes that the financial interest of the taxpayers is safeguarded by the States imposed tax levy cap. Moving this Election to November would not require the submission of the school budget to voters so long as the budget is in conformance with this 2% property tax levy cap. The election will be moved to November for at minimum four years.
