Neighbors, landscapers, and people with small cleanup loads use it, especially when a pickup won't do. It's one of the many county-area facilities New Jersey residents rely on for extra recycling needs.
The site looks like a typical drop-off yard with a small entrance booth and rows of large containers and compactors. Pull up to the booth to check in, then drive slowly through the lanes where the bins are arranged - the recycling containers are usually off to one side. Many facilities nearby have a scale at the entrance or exit and charge by weight, so expect to stop twice if that applies. Signs and arrows guide where different materials go, and there are often separate spots or occasional special collection areas for things like electronics, appliances, or metal.
