How to Recycle in Montclair

Recycling is the law in New Jersey. In Montclair, we recognize that recycling is important for many other reasons: it reduces waste, saves tax dollars and conserves energy by giving previously used natural resources a new life. Montclair provides extensive recycling services, the most notable being weekly curbside collection of “mixed paper” and “commingled” recyclables (i.e., metal, plastic and glass). In addition, various drop-off opportunities for these and other recyclables are provided at the Public Works Yard, located at 219 North Fullerton Avenue.

Below is a summary of the items accepted for weekly curbside collection, followed by a brief itemized listing of other recyclables accepted by the Township of Montclair.

For pick-up schedules, see here. Direct any questions to the Department of Community Services/Public Works at 973-509-5711.

Montclair’s use of dual recycling streams increases the quality and value of our recyclables.  

To dispose of non-recyclables, use the town and county programs to do so in the  best way for our environment.  The A to Z Disposal Guide shows how to dispose  of a specific item (similar to the Recycle Coach), and the A to Z Disposal Methods explains the options for where and how to do the disposal.
