They decided to put my bins on the other side of the property. It honestly has to be on purpose and in a malicious way. Like what’s their problem?

They miss pick up all the time. So if they miss one week recycling isn’t picked up for a month!!! And then they get frustrated when there is a pile of recyclables to be picked up. They really need a better system.

If you don’t pick it up, it will go in the trash. It’s not staying here.

Passive aggressive crew took the time to leave an elaborate note (and all the recycling) behind because the cardboard wasn't tied in 2x2 squares. It would have taken them way less time to pick it up than write the note. This is an unnecessary exercise of authority.

Be aware of zip codes & zones boundaries within area. in middlesex county I have a south amboy mail address but pay property taxes to Sayreville. Each of these area have zones for recycling days. Else call public works to find out what is right and or correct what’s wrong

Edward Brzyski | Sep 28, 2018
Mary Ciccolella | Sep 28, 2018

Off route 22 in Springfield, there is a drop off bin at Foam Pack at 72 Fadem Road. Drop off bins are far and few between unfortunately. There should be a law that requires manufacturers to provide recycling opportunities to recycle this material.

Hey guys...we have a washer, dryer, and old stove...is that only able to be dropped off that first Saturday?
