Curbside Recycling Calendar

Towns Where We Collect

^2012 collection schedule change

In a Focus on Morris County segment, Penny Jones, MCMUA recycling education specialist, discusses the 2012 changes in recycling schedules for 7 of the towns in which the MCMUA collects recyclables. She also talks about some new materials added to the MCMUA's all-in-one single-stream recycling program.

Changes in Recycling Schedules Coming to 7 Communities in 2012

Changes in the schedules for the curbside pickup of recyclables are coming to Boonton Township, Denville, Dover, East Hanover, Hanover, Mendham Township and Wharton in 2012. Please use the calendar to review your collection schedule. You have the ability to add to your municipal recycling schedule provided below to your Google calendar.

The seven communities are among 15 that participate in the curbside pickup program operated by the Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority. The schedule changes are being made to increase efficiency. The MCMUA is consolidating pickups in some communities and adjusting schedules in others to allow for a much better and more efficient use of our manpower and equipment.
