Linden Recycling Center

Linden Recycling Center is the local recycling spot in Linden, NJ that people from nearby neighborhoods and small contractors use to keep stuff out of the landfill. It’s the kind of place where residents drop off common recyclables and sometimes things like electronics or bulky items when the center runs those programs.

There’s a small entrance booth and a drive-up setup where vehicles pull in, stop briefly, then move to unloading bays or containers. Expect to see separate containers or bays for paper, cardboard, metals, plastics and glass, with occasional areas for larger items or electronics if the center accepts them. A scale is often part of the route, so vehicles may be weighed on the way in and/or out and traffic can slow if several cars arrive at once. Weekends and spring cleanups get busy, so there can be lines.
