Now, did you know that some of New Jersey’s landfills are at the forefront of environmental protection? For instance, the Middlesex County Landfill near East Brunswick is not just a place to dump trash; it’s a carefully engineered site designed to minimize environmental impact. The landfill captures methane gas, which is then converted into energy, helping to reduce the carbon footprint. It’s just one way New Jersey is leading the charge in responsible waste management.

Looking for specific locations? If you’re in Jersey City, the Kearny Landfill is likely your closest option, handling a wide range of waste types. Over in Camden, the Camden County Sanitary Landfill offers comprehensive services for residential and commercial waste. If you’re near Morristown, the Mount Olive Transfer Station is convenient for general waste disposal. And if you’re down in Toms River, the Ocean County Landfill is the go-to spot for your garbage disposal needs.

To make it even easier, use our map feature. Just pop in your address, and we’ll show you the closest dumps and landfills, so you can find the right place to take your waste without any fuss.

Here’s a fun fact about New Jersey landfills: The Edgeboro Landfill in East Brunswick is one of the state’s largest and is a model of modern landfill technology. It uses advanced systems to manage waste, including a gas collection system that turns landfill gases into electricity. This electricity is used to power homes in the local area, turning what would be waste into a valuable resource.

So, whether you’re cleaning out the basement, renovating your home, or just doing a big decluttering session, finding the right landfill doesn’t have to be complicated. We’re here to make sure you get it done quickly and easily.
