Unleash the true potential of community recycling and make a positive impact.

 

RECYCLE COACH
 
Do you know what day recycling is picked up? How about the proper way to dispose of an old air conditioner unit? All that information and much more is now available at your fingertips via the RECYCLE COACH app.
 
 
It's simple and easy to use.
To see your zone, just click on "View Schedule" and type in your address.
 
 
 
 
 
 
This free app provides residents in The Borough of Sayreville with sanitation and recycling information specific to their zone. The app along with our website features a monthly calendar of sanitation and recycling pick-up days, a search function that provides information on the proper way to dispose of specific items and tips on ways to reduce waste. Users can also set reminders to inform them of sanitation and recycling pick-up days, as well as directly report problems to the Public Works Department.
 
 Thanks to the Department of Environmental Protection who purchased RECYCLE COACH'S online technology and to Middlesex County, so residents can now access information through their smart devices.

The RECYCLE COACH application download is available on the Google Play and Apple Store for free.

UPCYCLING GLASS BOTTLES INTO VASES

 

An easy way to recycle bottles
Just some spray paint is enough to transform them
into colorful decor to bring Spring indoors.

Materials:
Glass bottles - rubber bands - painters tape - aluminum foil - scissors

 

STEP 1: Slide the rubber bands on to the bottle to create a striped pattern

 

STEP 2: Apply painters tape above the top rubber band

STEP 3: Cover the top of the bottle with aluminum foil and tape down the bottom edge, making sure that tape doesn't go below the tape that was applied in the previous step

STEP 4: Spray paint the bottle in several light coats until opaque,
waiting about a minute in between each coat

STEP 5: Wait about an hour or until the paint is fully dried before cutting off the rubber bands. Very carefully pull the rubber band away from the bottle and use scissors to snip it.

STEP 6: Remove the rest of the tape and foil and fill your new vases with flowers.
