Solid Waste Facility

Gloucester County Solid Waste Complex

503 Monroeville Rd, Swedesboro, NJ 08085

(856) 478-6045

A county-run solid waste site just off Monroeville Road used by Swedesboro residents for household trash, recycling, and yard debris. Locals drop by with pickup loads, trailers, or car trunks during cleanup days and weekends.

There’s an entrance booth near the road where vehicles line up to check in. A scale and weigh station are visible as part of the entry/exit flow, so expect to stop more than once if there’s a line. Recycling and yard waste areas are set apart from the main disposal lanes, with large bins and piles that are easy to spot from the drive. Weekend traffic and spring cleanup can create backups, so cars and small trailers are common in the queue.

Before You Go

  • Bring materials separated as much as possible-paper/plastics vs. bulky yard piles-so unloading goes quicker once at the drop-off point.
  • Aim for non-peak times; early weekday mornings are usually quieter than Saturday or Sunday.
  • Have the vehicle registration or proof of residency handy at the booth in case it’s requested to verify county use.
