Township of East Brunswick Recycling Center

357 Dunhams Corner Rd, East Brunswick, NJ 08816

(732) 432-6011

Township of East Brunswick Recycling Center sits off Dunhams Corner Road and is the local spot people use to drop off household recyclables and the occasional bulky item. Neighbors come here from all over East Brunswick and nearby towns when curbside won't take something or for larger loads. It’s the kind of place that gets busy on weekends, especially during spring cleanup.

There’s an entrance booth and a lane to pull up to, with areas where vehicles can unload-recycling bins are usually grouped together a short walk from the drive area. Expect to slow down at a scale or checkpoint as you drive in and likely stop again leaving, since many centers measure vehicles. The site looks like a typical municipal facility: paved drives, collection containers, and a few concrete islands where people toss sorted materials. Lines form on weekend mornings, so it can feel crowded but it moves steadily when multiple lanes are open.

Before You Go

  • Sort materials in the car before getting to the booth so unloading goes faster-paper, cardboard, and mixed containers separated makes things simpler.
  • Bring something to bundle or box loose items (cardboard flattens better) and have heavier things toward the back of the vehicle for safer unloading.
  • Avoid peak weekend times if possible-weekday mornings or late afternoons are usually quieter and cut down on time spent waiting.
