Place your old cans upside down at the curb, stacked if possible, the Sunday night before your zone’s one-time collection date. Cans will be collected throughout the week. Please leave them curbside until they are collected.

Old cans can also be brought to the Middletown Recycling Center (52 Kanes Lane) Thursdays through Mondays from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Private Haulers’ Carts

This Excludes Carts Belonging to Private Haulers (Franklin, Midco, M&S, Republic, Solterra, etc.) 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.
