In 2016, Dunellen residents will continue to expect recycling pickups every other Wednesday, but there will be no printed schedule sent to households. As of March 30, 2015, the Middlesex County Improvement Authority has transitioned to single-stream recycling collection. Now all curbside recyclable items, such as bottles, cans, paper and small flat cardboard can be mixed together in a single recycling container as they are kept separate from trash. Residents can go to the MCIA website for more info (http://www.mciauth.com/) or see the listing below. CURBSIDE COLLECTION SCHEDULE

The Middlesex County Improvement Authority’s Recycling Division has issued an advisory regarding recycling holiday items.
“While our recycling brochures are very detailed, we can’t cover everything,” said MCIA Recycling Manager Ed Windas. “There are specialty items that are synonymous with this time of year, and we want residents to know how to properly dispose of them.”
Products like greeting cards, envelopes and gift wrap are generally classified under mixed paper, with one major caveat, Windas said. “We do not want nor can we take foil wrapping paper,” he said. Even though most ornaments are primarily manufactured using glass or plastics, the Division also cautions residents against heaping these embellishments in with the recyclables. “Those are also on the not-wanted list,” Windas said.
