Book Smart
Students throughout the County are getting hands-on recycling education with the introduction
of a book recycling program sponsored by the MCIA and the County. Outdated hardcover and softcover books
that can no longer be used, sold or given away are
being recycled in this program. Students remove the hard covers from books and then reap the rewards:
The recycling processor pays for each ton recycled.
Shred It!
Middlesex County residents are invited to recycle old documents and confidential files safely and securely at mobile shredding events scheduled throughout the year. Bring old files, receipts, bills, financial statements and any documents that have not been recycled due to confidentiality concerns and watch them get shredded on-site.
