Recycling Center

If the curbside recycling schedule does not fit into your schedule, residents also have the option of bringing the recyclables listed above as well as many other items to the Township's Recycling Drop-Off Center on Jackson Mill Road at the Department of Public Works facility. The center is currently accepting Christmas trees and brush from Hurricane Sandy.

Scrap metal, electronic equipment, and other items such as air conditioning units, tires, used motor oil, household and automotive batteries, and clothing, are also accepted at the center. Before bringing items to the center, visit the recycling center's website for more information about what is accepted at the center.
