Residents are encouraged to recycle electronics at the new public works facility.
The township is continuing its recycling agreement with the county for curbside pickup throughout the year. The council unanimously approved the continuation of the recycling program at the March 4 council meeting.

It is part of the Department of Public Works facility.
Bridgewater is offering an electronic recycling drop-off location on Chimney Rock Road, particularly now that the holidays are over.

The facility will be open for disposal from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, and the dumpster is open to the entire county, not just Bridgewater residents. These items can be recycled at the facility: For more information, contact the Bridgewater Health Department by calling 908-725-5750, or emailing health@bridgewaternj.gov.

A dumpster will be set up near the quarry.
In an effort to continue recycling opportunities in the township, the council unanimously approved a resolution Nov. 19 to set a contract with Donjon Recycling for a dumpster at the new DPW site near the quarry. According to township administrator James Naples, the township has been working on this contract for months, and it will be at no cost to the township. The dumpster, Naples said, will be entirely for electronic waste, like computers, television sets and other similar equipment that needs to be recycled. “The company is providing the free dumpster,” he said. Basically, Naples said, the township is required to file a list of all items that are recycled in the municipality, and then there is a grant that pays back the state, with the …
