Toms River Township Recycling Convenience Center
In order for us to serve the residents of Toms River Township efficiently and effectively, and to maintain compliance with federal, state, and local laws, we must strictly adhere to certain rules and regulations. Your cooperation and understanding is expected and will be greatly appreciated.
Rules for Bringing Materials
Residents are permitted to bring no more than two 35-gallon containers of construction/demolition debris to the Recycling Convenience Center two times per month. This debris must be placed in containers so that the quantity of material can be readily identified by the yard attendants. If such debris is not containerized, it will not be accepted.
The Township will not provide curbside pickup of construction/demolition debris. Should you have larger quantities of construction/demolition debris to dispose of, it must be brought to an approved landfill such as the Ocean County Landfill on State Highway 70 in Manchester Township by the resident, contractor, or licensed trash hauling company.
Requirements
- Must be a Toms River Township resident with proof of residency (driver's license, utility bill, tax bill)
- No contractors, no demolition, and no commercial vehicles
Vehicle Size & Visits
Vehicles allowed into the Recycling Convenience Center can be no larger than a pickup truck. Rental pickups are allowed, but they must not exceed 8,000 pounds. Commercial vehicles are not permitted. Remember to properly secure and tarp all material that is being transported to the Recycling Convenience Center.
Only two visits/loads per month of household items are allowed. If you are dropping off brush or picking up mulch or wood chips, then you may enter more often. Over 100,000 vehicles utilize our facility yearly and the volume of material that is generated must be transported to various facilities throughout the county daily. State regulations do not permit any trash to be stored on the ground.
Wood Chips & Mulch
Free wood chips and leaf mulch are available for pickup. There is free delivery of leaf mulch in quantities of 5 or 10 cubic yards can be arranged by calling 732-255-1000, ext. 8103.
