Post subject: Recycling Update
I spoke this morning with Middlesex county.
They will not be distributing new containers as you can use the current containers and mix the material. We discussed options for those that would like to use bigger containers. For those indviduals, if you'd like you can purchase up to a 32 gallon trash can from a local home center and use this for recycling.
I am told the county will pickup the material in the can if it is put out on recycling day (ideally next to another recycling container and/or mark it recycling).
They recommend you use the recycling barrel (one that used to be for plastic and glass) first before going to a different container so when the blue barrel is next to the other container the crew will clearly stop and see it's not trash.
They require that if you use an alternative container for recycling that it not have a lid. This is so the crew can see it's not trash as some towns have recycling and trash pick up on the same day.

1) we are checking to see if the county will be providing one large container and replacing the two we have now. We do not yet have that information.
2) all material plastic, metal and paper can be placed in one container.

If residents are not yet aware starting the April 6th pickup for recycling you do not need to separate paper and plastic. The county is employing a single container system where materials can be co-mingled. The hope is this will make it easier to recycle.
Will we start being able to use larger collection bins for the co-mingled recycling? Many towns that do this have trash-can size bins they use, so you can have one bin with a hinged cover instead of 3-5 small bins.

Middlesex county does the town's recycling as part of a county wide agreement.
If you're suggesting people drive to a middlesex county recycling center I think you'd see a large decrease in recycling. There may also be state mandates that towns offer recycling.

How much does this cost the town? Middlesex county has its own recycling center.
