Howell Township Recycling Center

Howell Township Recycling Center is the local spot in Howell Township for dropping off recyclables and getting rid of bulk items that don’t belong in regular curbside pickup. Neighbors from around the area use it for larger loads and seasonal cleanouts. The site handles the kinds of materials typical of a municipal recycling center and runs alongside county and state systems in New Jersey.

The entrance has a small booth and a scale for vehicle weigh-ins, so expect to pull up, stop, and then move on to the recycling bins or drop-off lanes. The recycling containers are laid out in rows and are easy to spot a short way past the booth; trucks and trailers share the same lanes so watch for tight turns. Loads are sorted into common streams like paper, cardboard, metals, glass, plastics, electronics and yard waste at most centers, and there are often special programs for things like electronics or household hazardous materials on specific days. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so lines at the scale and for the bins can build up quickly.
