 This week, Mayor Tony Perry and members of Middletown Department of Public Works & Engineering participated in a virtual ceremony to accept the Recycling Award from the Department of Environmental Protection in the Government category for increasing its recycling rate from 65% to 75% throughout town. This was accomplished through single stream curbside recycling, the two recycling centers in town, which offer a convenient way to recycle a variety of materials, the new leaf compost recycling initiative, as well as being the only town in the State of New Jersey to recycle Styrofoam/polystyrene.
Congratulations to the recycling education team and our community for improving our recycling efforts to keep Middletown beautiful for future generations!

NJ Poison Control Center Warns Community About Potential Misuse of Hand Sanitizers
In the COVID-19 era, alcohol-based hand sanitizers are not just a household staple, they are an everyday necessity. Since becoming part of our daily defense against coronavirus infection, these products are kept just about everywhere — from vehicles to handbags/backpacks to lunchboxes. Although hand sanitizers play an important role in preventing infection and slowing the spread of COVID-19, these products can result in potentially serious health consequences. In fact, hand sanitizers carry a potential for misuse, abuse and accidental exposure which can lead to alcohol overdose (poisoning).
