Toms River Recycling Center

1672 Church Rd, Toms River, NJ 08753

(732) 255-1000 ext. 8108

A straightforward town recycling center that locals use to keep recyclables out of the landfill. Small- to medium-scale setup serving Toms River residents, with the usual mix of drop-off traffic from cars and pickup trucks.

Drive up to a manned entrance booth and be ready to pull up slowly - there’s a scale loop and clear traffic flow through the site. The recycling containers sit to the right a short distance past the booth, while bulk bays and roll-off areas take up the center of the lot. Expect a gravel/asphalt yard with trucks moving around and piles of sorted material visible from the driving lanes. Many centers run special programs for electronics or bulky items, so see the posted signs when approaching the unloading areas.

Before You Go

  • Pre-sort materials at home: keep paper and cardboard separate from plastics and glass to speed unloading.
  • Flatten boxes and bundle loose items so they fit in the bins; a tarp helps keep everything contained in a pickup bed.
  • Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy - aim for an off-peak time if possible and have something to secure loose trash in transit.
