**Important Documents can be found at the Mendham Township Recycling Page<http://www.mendhamtownship.org/cn/webpage.cfm?TPID=10726>** The recycling collection day has changed to Mondays with paper products being picked up on the first Monday of 2021 followed by recyclables on the following Monday. The Mendham Township Recycling Page will provide you with an annual calendar showing the collection days plus detailed information on what is included in recycling (and conversely, what is not included). RECYCLING COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL: There are significant changes in Recycling due to the increased cost in disposing of recyclables collected in the "single stream" process (all recyclables placed in one container for pick up). The Township has decided to return to the "dual stream" collection process. This change will save the municipality over $40,000 per year. To obtain additional savings, the Township has entered into a five-year contract with the Morris County Utilities Authority to collect and dispose of the recyclable materials. REFUSE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL: The Township has entered into a three-year contract with RTS (the current 2020 Refuse Collector) for continuation of their services without any significant change in 2021. This contract provides for the collection of all refuse generated by Township residents plus the administration of the refuse disposal Sticker Fee program. Refuse will continue to be collected on each Tuesday or Wednesday (same schedule as in 2020). There are no changes in the regulations on refuse collection. Residents are still required to place a disposal sticker on each item placed at the curb for collection. The purchase of stickers for the disposal of the collected refuse by the Morris County Solid Waste Authority have increased slightly, from 70 cents per sticker to 75 cents per sticker (purchased in books of 10 for $7.50). The increase in cost is directly related to the increased disposal costs at the Refuse Transfer Station, not the cost of collection or administration. The main page of the Township web site has additional information on recycling and refuse disposal, including a schedule of stickers required for bulk items placed at the curb (MendhamTownship.org).
