Curb setout times, container placement and pickup-day rules in Middlesex County are set by each municipality, not the county. Residents follow their own town's approved container types and setout windows for both trash and recycling.
Middlesex County does not set countywide rules for when or where residents place bins at the curb. Setout times, approved container types, distance from the roadway and the deadline to bring cans back in are governed by each of the 25 municipalities through their local solid-waste ordinances and hauler contracts. Because recycling is collected on a separate schedule in most towns, residents must confirm both the trash and recycling setout days locally. The county's Solid Waste Management Program coordinates recycling education and facility oversight but leaves curbside setout enforcement to the municipality. Confirm your town's setout window and container rules with its public-works or code-enforcement office.
Early setout, blocked-sightline placement or late can-return violations are enforced by the municipality under its solid-waste ordinance, with locally set fines. Middlesex County issues no curbside bin-placement citations.
