Monmouth County Reclamation Center

Monmouth County Reclamation Center in Tinton Falls is the county landfill/recycling place most locals use for household cleanouts and bulky items. People from surrounding towns bring truckloads and carloads here when municipal pickups won’t handle it.

There’s an entrance booth where attendants check vehicle type and direct traffic; expect to stop there first. A scale is typically crossed either on the way in or out, and charges are calculated by weight, so there’s usually a brief wait at the weigh station. The site is large and feels industrial - piles, bays, and rows of containers - and traffic moves slowly on busy weekend mornings. Drop-off spots and recycling bins are set along lanes, so be prepared to pull up, unload, and then merge back into the flow to exit.
