Christmas trees are picked up on residents’ collection day throughout the month of January.  Make sure all of the decorations and lights are removed.  Do not place trees in plastic bags.

Special Announcement from Waste Management

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM WM

February 3, 2025

Township residents have started receiving letters providing you with a Customer ID directly related to your collection service address, so that you can setup your online My WM Profile. We appreciate your willingness to manage your service account directly on your phone or laptop.

We have been made aware that some of these letters contained an incorrect Customer ID.

After speaking with our print service, they have confirmed that the error was made by them during production of the individualized letters. They sincerely apologize for the confusion and are correcting the problem quickly.

Please DO NOT call the Township office or WM Customer Experience directly about your Customer IDs, as it will slow the process of getting your corrected ID numbers to you. New Customer ID information will be coming to you by mail early next week.

You will receive a new letter with your correct Customer ID number on it. This number may be the same one you already received, but we want to ensure we didn’t miss any resident who may have received a letter with incorrect information. Please destroy the original notice you received and use the corrected ID number once you receive it.

Providing direct access to residents to their municipal service account is a relatively new service provided by WM, and unfortunately, a few glitches have occurred. These were unanticipated and unfortunately has created confusion unnecessarily. We apologize for the inaccurate information.

We appreciate your understanding and patience, as we move forward to provide you with the quality services you deserve.

Sincerely,
Waste Management

New Trash Contract

Trash & Recycling Service Changes Coming in 2025
 
Trash Service Day Lookup

In 2025, Middletown Township will begin its new 5-year contract with Waste Management with key service changes.
Starting Monday, January 6, 2025, the following changes will take effect:

What's New?
  • Once-a-Week Automated Pickup: Trash, recycling, and yard waste will now be collected on the same day.
  • Wheeled Carts: Every household will receive two (2) new 96-gallon wheeled carts – one for trash and one for recycling. Carts will be delivered to homes in mid-December.
    • Prefer a smaller cart? After the first quarter (April), you can request a 65-gallon cart instead.
  • Collection Day: Most residents will keep one of their current trash days.  Residents’ new collection dates will be announced later this fall.
  • Old trash/recycling cans: Old trash and recycling bins can be repurposed for yard waste or labeled as bulk on collection day for disposal. Residents can also put their old trash can inside of their new cart for pick up on their regular trash day.  The “Middletown Township” blue recycling bins distributed last year can be used at the curb in place of a 96-gallon cart.
Recycling & Yard Waste
  • Recycling: Picked up alongside your trash – simple, convenient, and efficient.
  • Yard Waste: No changes here, other than collection day! Continue using the same yard waste procedures on your regular collection day.
Special Features
  • Bulk Pickup: Scheduled for the third week of every month, on your regular collection day. Each household is allowed up to two bulk items. Need more? Schedule an On-Demand Pickup through the WM App (residents will pay directly to Waste Management).
Townhome Neighborhoods
  • Manual Collection: If you live in Tareyton, Hollybrooke, Villas of Middletown, or Windybush, all waste will still be collected manually.
Getting Started
  • Cart Delivery: Your two (2) new wheeled carts will arrive in December, but please do not use them until the new collection schedule starts the week of January 6th. When placing them out for collection, ensure the wheels face your home and leave at least 3 feet of space from cars or other obstacles for easy pickup.
Need More Info?
  • Damaged Carts? Waste Management will repair or replace them at no charge once reported.
  • Extra Trash or a Second Cart? Residents have the option to get an additional cart for $12/month per cart through Waste Management.  One (1) trash and one (1) recycling cart will be provided as part of the basic service.
Holiday Schedule
  • When holidays occur, all collections will be delayed by one day during that service week. For example, a Monday holiday will delay all collections by one day.
