The Middlesex County Improvement Authority (MCIA) is pleased to announce the
implementation of Automatic Side Load (ASL) service beginning August 1, 2025.
ASL service utilizes 95-gallon wheeled carts with lids which will replace the blue barrels
or rectangular carts currently in use. You are receiving your new cart in advance of the
start of the program which is August 1, 2025. You should continue using your existing
blue containers until your first recycling pick-up in August at which time you MUST
use your new cart. The cart delivered to you has a serial number and barcode linked to
your address. If you should move out of your address, the cart must remain for the new
resident. You may keep your old totes and bins if you wish, however they can no longer
be used for curbside recycling once ASL service begins on August 1. You can recycle
your old blue containers by placing them in the new cart for pick-up.
If you have any questions regarding this new program, please
contact your local Recycling Coordinator in your Municipality.
