Brick Recycling Co

Brick Recycling Co is the recycling center on Hooper Avenue that locals use when clearing out apartments, garages, or doing a spring cleanup. Located in Brick Township, it’s the kind of place neighbors drop by with sorted loads rather than trying to shove everything into a curbside bin. Expect a steady stream of cars and small trucks most weekends because New Jersey has a lot of facilities and people use them often.

The site is the practical, working kind - a small entrance booth, piles or bays for different materials, and a roll-up area for larger items. Pull up to the booth to tell them what’s in the truck and then follow signs to the recycling bins, which are typically off to one side past the entrance. You’ll cross a scale on the way in or out - many recycling centers charge by weight, so plan to stop twice if that’s the case here. Weekends and spring-cleanup times get busy, with lines of cars and trucks waiting to unload.
