This week, there will be a one-day delay in trash and recycling pickup for Middletown residents.
This week's trash and recycling (gray trash bins plus green recycling bins) will be delayed one day due to the storm, according to the town’s recycling coordinator, Will Cronin. In addition, last Friday’s trash and recycling (blue bin) pick-up will be serviced this Monday, Jan. 23, a two-day delay. The Friday route was initially delayed one day because of last week’s Martin Luther King Jr. holiday and was rescheduled to yesterday (Saturday, Jan. 21). However, the snowstorm delayed it one more day, until Monday. Please contact the recycling coordinator with any questions: 401-842-6519, wcronin@middletownri.com. Information about the trash and recycling program, visit the Refuse Collection Department page of the town website.
