Does anyone know where the recycling center is in SO? I have a car full of recyclables and ours is closed. Please don't make me bring it all back into my house..... |

It is on South Ridgewood on the left hand side heading towards Maplewood just before the park with the tennis courts there is a large green and yellow sign. |

No need, Shanabana. Unlike OUR center, where anyone could come, the South Orange one checks to make sure you area a resident. I just called and they told me no. So there you go - you can dump at ours, but we can't return the favor at yours.
Thank god I wash all my cans out....... |

don't you have recycleable pickup in Maplewood? By the way we can't go to "yours" either. I didn't even know Maplewood had one. |

I had the same problem yesterday. There is a sign that says it's closed Monday and Tuesday and here we are on Friday and it's still closed while they put in a new sidewalk in front of the entrance.
I went to South Orange but it's not as obvious when you drive in where you need to go to drop off so I had to ask someone and of course they wouldn't let me drop my plastic.
It's always something... |

Good thing I don't know where you live - otherwise I'd have to report you or make a citizen's arrest. However they probably wouldn't believe me seeing as I'm from Maplewood (and before that Queens - as opposed to Staten Island). |
