Plan Amendment 2026-2
Amend the inclusion of the Middlesex County Landfill, located at Block 834, Lots 3.03, 3.05, 3.07, 3.08, 4.02, 4.05, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19, 4.20, 4.22, 4.23, 4.25, 4.26, 5.03, 7.02 (portion of), 8.02, 9-17, 18.01, 19.01, 20, 21, 22, 23.01 (portion of), 34.05, 34.09, 34.10 and a street address of 53 Edgeboro Road, East Brunswick to allow for an approximate 57 acre lateral expansion and a vertical increase of the facility up to an additional 25 feet.
The Middlesex County Landfill’s current design elevation is 275 feet above mean sea level. This Amendment approves an increase in height of up to 25 feet. The lateral expansion will be for the development of Cell 10. This increase will provide for an approximate 20 million cubic yards of additional capacity. The specific parcels that will be impacted by this expansion include Block 834, Lots 3.05, 3.08, 4.20 and 4.26.
There will be no changes to the landfill operations in terms of traffic volume, operating hours (Monday-Friday 7am-3pm, Saturday 7am-12pm), and waste types accepted (10, 13, 13C, 23, 25, 27, 27I and treated regulated medical waste (class 1 through 7)). The Landfill will continue to only accept Middlesex County generated waste.
The proposed Plan Amendment is posted at middlesexcountynj.gov/publicnotices
