Middlesex County has once again been named the top-recycling county in the state, according to the latest data from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.

"We're number one, and we're proud of it," said Freeholder Director David B. Crabiel.

Crabiel added that Middlesex County is a major leader in the state and beat out 21 other counties for the third time since 1995, exceeding 60 percent for the ninth time. Of over 2,500,000 tons of waste generated in Middlesex County, 62.3 percent of that total was recycled, according to the latest NJDEP report.
