Waste Facility
ACUA Wastewater Treatment Facility
1801 Absecon Blvd, Atlantic City, NJ 08401
(609) 272-6950Small for a city but busy, the ACUA Wastewater Treatment Facility is where Atlantic City residents and local haulers bring their wastewater and related loads. Lots of pickup trucks and small roll-offs show up here rather than big semi traffic most days.
Drive up Absecon Boulevard and look for the entrance booth and gates; vehicles usually line up there on busier days. There’s a scale you’ll cross-expect to slow down and stop a couple of times as trucks are checked. The site feels industrial: concrete pads, tanks and piping visible from the access road, with traffic lanes for pull-up and unload. Recycling or drop-off bins sit off to the side of the main compound, and it can get noisy with pumps and generators running.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring secure tarp straps or tie-downs-loads tend to shift during the short wait times and wind off the boulevard can blow debris around.
- Aim for a weekday morning if possible; weekends and spring cleanup times are when lines build and wait times lengthen.
- Have vehicle paperwork and ID handy at the booth to move through the line faster; a quick look through the window often speeds things up.
