The News Record has a front page photo touting the return of plastics recycling for Maplewood, but zero information about it that I could find. Anyone know the details? |

As iof Feb 1, you can bring #1 & 2 plastics to the recycling center on Boyden. There is a new bin for them.(I believe the town is renting/buying a "smushing machine" as my 5yo calls it for the plastics) There is no curbside pickup for plastic.
You can also bring household batteries there, too. |

As stated by 'hismom' and the 1/27/05 edition of the News-Record, recycling of #1 and #2 plastics began again at our Department of Public Works at 359 Boyden Avenue (M-F: 9-3, excluding major holidays; Sat: 9-12). Please discard the cap, rinse the container and squish it a bit. As of noon today, I heard that the 30 foot bin was just about full!
Household battery bins are also available. Public Works staff will take them to the county battery collection site twice a year.
Both plastics' recycling and household battery disposal are provided at no cost and are recycled from Public Works - not at your curb.
Read more about recycling on the Township website at http://twp.maplewood.nj.us/ Or, call Public Works at 973-762-1175. |
