Glen Rock Recycling Center

350 Doremus Ave, Glen Rock, NJ 07452

(201) 670-3990

Small town recycling center that locals use to drop off household recyclables and the odd bulky item. It’s the kind of place neighbors swing by with a car or small trailer rather than a commercial load. Regular Glen Rock residents and nearby Bergen County folks tend to show up on weekends and evenings.

There’s a little entry booth and a narrow drive where cars line up to pull in; expect to stop at the booth and then pull forward toward the sorting areas. Large open bays and rows of bins sit to the right and left, with piles of flattened cardboard, mixed cans and bottles, and a separate area for electronics and other special items. Vehicles usually drive onto a scale for weight-based charges before leaving, so drivers stop once coming in and again after unloading. The site looks utilitarian-paved lots, concrete berms, and stacked containers-nothing fancy but gets the job done.

Before You Go

  • Bring items already sorted by type and flattened where possible; it makes unloading quicker and keeps the line moving.
  • Drive with a clear view of where to pull up after the booth-there’s limited room for maneuvering bigger trailers.
  • Avoid peak weekend times during spring and fall cleanups if possible; those are the busiest stretches and lines get long.
