Recycling Center Reopening
Mayor Tony Perry, Township Administrator Tony Mercantante, and Department of Public Works & Engineering employees share big smiles in front of one of the Recycling Center's new signs!
The Middletown Recycling Center (52 Kanes Lane) officially reopened to the public today! The center was closed for approximately two months while it was undergoing renovations. Some improvements include increasing access and efficiency to the recycling drop-off bins, improving traffic circulation, allowing room for the expansion of recyclable commodities in the future, and ensuring ADA compliance to both the Middletown Recycling Center and Administrative Building. 

Please note that the Recycling Center will be closed on Monday, September 5th in observance of Labor Day.

Middletown Hosts 21st Anniversary of
9/11 Memorial Service on Sunday, 9/11 at 7:15 PM

9/11 21st Anniversary Service

MTPD Invites Community to Support PBA Local 124's 2nd Annual 9/11 Memorial 5K Run on Saturday, 9/10

PBA 911 Run
 
Proceeds from the 5K will go to a scholarship fund created in memory of Middletown Township Police Department (MTPD) Detective Lieutenant Joseph Capriotti. As "keeper of the list" of the 37 Township residents we tragically lost on 9/11, Capriotti personally notified every single Middletown family who lost a loved one that day. As a result of his response to Ground Zero, he developed cancer and lost his battle in June 2019. The memorial scholarship fund was created as a way to pay tribute to the tremendous impact he has made to the families of the victims and to our community.

Registration is $30 for the 5K Run + Walk and $10 for the Kids' Race.
Prices will increase on Friday, September 9th.
