SCHOOL BOOK RECYCLING
Students throughout the County are getting hands-on recycling
education with the introduction of a book recycling program
sponsored by the MCIA and the County. Outdated hardcover
and softcover books that can no longer be used, sold or given
away are being recycled in this program. Students remove the
hardcovers from the books then reap the rewards. The recycling
processor pays for each ton recycled. This program is not for
residential use.
PAPER SHREDDING
Middlesex County residents are invited to recycle old documents
and confidential files safely and securely at mobile shredding
events scheduled throughout the year. Bring old files, receipts,
bills, financial statements and any documents that have not
been recycled due to confidentiality concerns and watch them
get shredded on-site. Call the County Division of Solid Waste
Management at 732-745-4170 for dates and locations.
