Recycling Programs

Recycling Center

The Recycling Center is located behind the DPW Garage, 19 Industrial Way and is open from 7:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. All of the items listed below can be taken to the center and must be deposited in the proper containers.

Glass, Aluminum, Bi-Metal and Plastic Containers

These items are collected every other Wednesday of each month. A container with a recycling decal on it can be put on the curb the night before. Plastic containers that contain motor oil, pharmaceuticals, and building materials WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. All other plastic containers will be accepted.

Newspapers

Newspapers are collected on the third Saturday of each month by the Boy Scouts. They are to be tied and bundled no more than 8 inches in height and placed at the curb the night before. Do not place newspapers in paper or plastic bags. Magazines and junk mail must also be tied and can be taken to the recycling center.

White Goods/Brush & Tree Limbs

The Borough will pick up white goods and/or metal products by appointment on each Monday of the month. White goods consist of stoves, refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, water heaters, furnaces and other metal bulk garbage such as air conditioners, old sheds, swing sets, barbecue grills and metals piping (cut to 5 ft. lengths). Brush and branch collection will be collected along with the grass clippings. There is no need to tie them up. Tree limbs must be less than 6” in diameter, and no more than four feet in length, placed in containers. LIMBS PLACED IN THE STREET WILL NOT BE PICKED UP ANY LONGER. Up to four containers will be accepted with each collection. No tree stumps will be accepted.

Grass Clipping Collection

Tuesdays: North of East Prospect St. to Allendale/Saddle River and all streets from Franklin Turnpike to Nordham Street not including Franklin Turnpike.

Wednesdays: Both sides of Crescent Avenue to the Wyckoff border and the area east of Rt. 17 No. Collection will coincide with existing garbage schedule.

Thursdays: Both sides of Franklin Turnpike to Crescent Avenue. Collection will coincide with existing garbage schedule.

Fridays: Both sides of E. Prospect St., all streets between Nordham St. to Route 17 So. and E. Prospect St. to Ho-Ho-Kus border.

Residents are asked to separate the grass clippings from their regular garbage. We would prefer that they be placed in a separate container, although we will accept them bagged. DO NOT PLACE any garbage in with the grass clippings.
