Recycling Center

South Brunswick Recycling

540 Ridge Rd, Monmouth Junction, NJ 08852

(732) 329-4000

Small, local recycling center in Monmouth Junction that people from South Brunswick Township drive to when clearing out recyclables and bulky items. Neighbors bring anything they want kept out of the landfill, from cardboard and metal to household recyclables - the place gets steady use because New Jersey has lots of rules and few easy alternatives for big items.

The lot looks like a practical, workaday place rather than a showroom: parking lanes, drop-off bays and an entrance booth where vehicles slow down. Vehicles usually pull up, unload at different bays or containers, then depart; the site handles a steady flow so there can be a line on busy days. Expect outdoor piles or big bins for different material types and covered areas for items that need sorting. Signage and attendants guide traffic, so follow the flow and keep loads arranged for quick unloading.

Before You Go

  • Sort materials at home into separate boxes or bags - glass, cardboard, metal and mixed paper - to speed up unloading.
  • Bring gloves, a tarp and straps for loose or awkward items; having things secure makes unloading faster and safer.
  • Avoid weekend mid-afternoons if possible; early weekdays or late afternoons tend to move more quickly when the township is less busy.
