Ocean County Solid Waste Management

A county-run solid waste drop-off in Toms River where locals bring household trash, yard waste, and recyclables. Mostly used by residents hauling stuff from garages, basements, or weekend cleanups. Expect a working, no-frills municipal site rather than a polished private facility.

Drive up to an entry booth where attendants will direct traffic; there’s often a short line on weekend mornings. Large paved lots with roll-off containers and covered bays are visible from the entrance, and recycling areas tend to be grouped together to one side. Vehicles usually pass over a scale as part of the check-in and exit process, so be prepared for a slow roll in and out. The site looks industrial-concrete, fencing, and heavy equipment-so bring sturdy footwear and be ready for dust or mud after rain.
