Curbside trash collection in Middlesex County is arranged by each of the 25 municipalities, not the county. The Middlesex County Utilities Authority operates the county landfill in East Brunswick where the collected waste is disposed, serving over 850,000 residents.
Household trash collection schedules, contractors and setout rules in Middlesex County are set by each municipality; there is no single countywide pickup service. Towns either run municipal collection or contract private haulers, and residents follow their own town's collection calendar. The county role is downstream disposal: the Middlesex County Utilities Authority (MCUA) Solid Waste Division operates the Middlesex County Landfill on Edgeboro Road in East Brunswick, which serves all 25 municipalities and handles more than 500,000 tons of waste per year from over 850,000 residents. The county Solid Waste Management Plan, adopted under New Jersey's solid-waste district planning law (N.J.S.A. 13:1E), directs where the county's municipal waste is disposed.
Missed-setout, improper-container and collection-day violations are enforced by the municipality that runs or contracts the route. The county sets no household collection penalties; MCUA governs disposal at the landfill under its rate schedule and DEP permits.
