Recycling Dates

Why Recycle?

Not only is it good for the environment but it can also help reduce the cost of your garbage removal.  The more you recycle, the less your garbage collector is picking up.  But more importantly, according to the New Jersey Statewide Mandatory Source Separation and Recycling Act (N.J.S.A. 13:1E-99.11) all residents and business are required to recycle.  So, not only is it beneficial to the environment, IT’S THE LAW!                          

For missed bucket collection please call the Mercer County Improvement Authority at 278-8086.
