In May, the county will be switching to single-stream recycling. Before the change has been done, the county needs to know how many “blue carts” residents need.
The “big blue cart,” which residents currently use for cardboard and paper, will soon be an all-purpose recycling tool.
Single-stream is convenient, increases recycling volume and saves money, the county’s website says.
Currently, the county is working to find out whether residents are in need of the signature blue cart, or a second cart to supplement the amount of recyclables put to the curb each week.
If residents currently have a 48-gallon, 64-gallon or 96-gallon cart, they’re asked to visit the county website to determine whether they need a second one before May.
To determine whether an extra one is needed, residents are asked to visit www.co.burlington.nj.us/singlestream.
The deadline is Monday, Sept. 30.
