(732) 727-0247Small-scale recycling center in Old Bridge that locals use to drop off household recyclables and leftover materials from home projects. Neighbors and small contractors tend to stop by, especially on weekends or after a big cleanout. The place is focused on keeping materials out of the landfill and handling common recyclables and specialty take-back programs.
Drive up to a single entrance where there’s a small booth and a weigh scale nearby; traffic can back up on busy Saturdays. The recycling bays are grouped by material-paper and cardboard, metals, some plastics, glass-and there’s usually a separate area for electronics and other special drop-offs. Vehicles pull up, toss items into the appropriate containers or tip into larger receptacles, then likely stop back at the scale on the way out. The site is industrial-looking: concrete pads, roll-up doors on processing buildings, and stacks of separated materials in the open.
