Middletown Begins Single Stream Recycling July 2
Middletown residents will be freed from sorting recyclables this Independence Day as the township transitions to single stream curbside recycling.
Starting Monday, July 2nd the practice of collecting glass, plastic and metal containers in one pick-up, then newspapers and cardboard in another pick-up several weeks apart will come to an end. All permitted recyclable materials can be put into the same containers. Recycling will still be collected twice a month, but residents can put all their recyclables out each time, Mayor Anthony Fiore announced.
The switch to single stream recycling is part of new garbage and recycling collection contracts with Republic Service/Marpal Disposal and Future Sanitation. The five-year contracts will save the township nearly $500,000 compared to the previous contracts, the mayor said.
“It’s a real win-win situation. Under the new contract the township will be able to reduce costs and increase services,” the mayor said. “In addition to the convenience and environmental factors, single stream recycling will make the collection process more efficient, cut costs and generate new revenues.”
With single stream recycling, ALL cans, plastic containers, bottles, jars, cardboard, newspapers, office papers & mixed papers (junk mail, magazines, coupon inserts) can be placed into the SAME containers. There is NO change to the collection schedule. All recyclables will be collected twice a month based on the existing schedule by zone, said Public Works and Engineering Director Ted Maloney. He noted the maximum weight per container is 50 pounds. Read more

This reeks of incompetence. Any passerby could tell those pipes were in danger from the damaged bridge above them.
N.J. American Water has been negligent from the time Storm Irene did all the damage to ll their infrastructure and destroyed Sebastion Bach's house across the street.
The water company has not lifted a finger in the months since that storm. EVERYTHING is as the storm left it.
Twisted pipes,broken wooden structures and the only thing done was to put up barriers. The sidewalks were impassable and it's only miraculous there has been no one injured in the mess on the west side of Swimming River Road.
