2018 RECYCLING REVIEW Fall 2018 Leaf Collection: Message from the Borough of Madison Department of Public Works
Did You Know? You don’t need to bundle or bag! You can place all of your paper, cardboard and junk mail in a container and place it at the curb.
The Borough offers three ways for residents to dispose of their leaves: 1. Leave containers at the Curb: Weekly curbside collection of yard waste in containers without lids will start March 12, 2018 and continue until December 12, 2018. We encourage using containers for leaf collection as it is efficient, environmentally friendly and the best option for storm water management. Free leaf bags are available starting October 9, 2018 at the Borough Garage for Madison residents. 2. Bring to Borough Garage: Residents can bring leaves to the Municipal Garage on weekdays from October 22 to December 14, between the hours of 7:30 am and 3:00 pm. Note: This is weekdays only and no commercial dumping is allowed. 3. Rake to Curb: Collection will start on October 22 and weather permitting will continue until mid December. Please get your leaves to the curb as soon as possible. December 14 is the last day to put out your leaves. In order to make curbside collection of leaves more efficient, place the leaves on the street. This allows our workforce to use front-end loaders for pickup when leaves are wet. Please call the Department of Public Works at 973-593-3088 if you require any additional information.
Unwanted/Expired Medications All expired and/or unwanted medications can be dropped off at one of the two Medication Drop Boxes located at the Madison Police Department and Madison Pharmacy. Restrictions: No liquids or syringes allowed.

Recycling Tips Newspapers and Magazines
A Word About Plastics
Newspapers, magazines, cardboard, catalogs, telephone books and junk mail should either be placed in a container, tied in small bundles, or placed in paper grocery bags. Also, do not place materials in the gutter on rainy days.
Food and Beverage Containers Glass, aluminum, tin and steel food and beverage containers and plastic soda, milk, water and detergent bottles may be mixed together and should be placed at the curb in a rigid reusable container such as a crate, bucket or garbage can, no more than 40 lbs. in weight or 30 gallons in size, no bags. If you do not use the proper container, it will not be collected.
Shop Madison and BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag)
Plastic items coded 1 through 7 can now be recycled. Rinse your food and beverage containers. Remove lids and caps. There is no need to remove labels. Flatten your plastic containers to save space.
The average American uses 500 bags a year. Please make every effort to reduce your use of plastic bags, or to reuse or recycle them at the recycling bins at Stop and Shop.
Have Questions?
Weekly Collection Suburban Disposal collects recyclables every week. The material you set out at the curbside will alternate week to week. Commingled bottles and cans one week; newspapers and magazines the next and so on.
Check the list of acceptable and nonacceptable materials. Carefully review your district number and collection days. If you have further questions, call the Department of Public Works at 973-593-3088.
Apartment and Condo Locations To improve recycling at your location, have the manager or appropriate representative contact the Recycling Coordinator at 973-593-3088.
