Recycling Department

HOURS:

Monday through Saturday 8AM-4PM

The North Haledon Recycling Center is ever expanding thanks to the commitment and conscientiousness of the Borough resi- dents. More and more people are realizing how important recycling is: not only is it the right thing to do, but the Borough receives a recycling grant proportionate to the ton- nage of its recycling, which ultimately keeps taxes lower. Here is some helpful information about the Recycling Center and how you, too, can be an active recycler.

NEWSPAPERS AND CARDBOARD can either be brought to the Recycling Center or can be bundled, or placed in paper bags, for curbside collection on paper/cardboard recycling day. NO PLASTIC BAGS PLEASE!

COMMINGLED ITEMS: Glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles, aluminum and tin cans can either be brought to the Recycling Cen- ter or placed in a permanent container no larger than 25 gallons, and put out at the curb the night before the scheduled com- mingled recycling day.

SCRAP METAL may be brought to the Recy- cling Center and placed in the appropriate container.

TIRES may be brought to the Recycling Center. There is a nominal fee for recycling tires.

USED MOTOR OIL may be brought to the Recycling Center and emptied into the tanks available for disposal.
