RECYCLING INFORMATION

The Borough of Rumson is proud to have multiple ways residents and businesses can recycle. In addition to single stream curbside recycling (the pickup schedule is listed here) and a recycling depot located behind Borough Hall where items can be dropped off, the Borough holds two Green Days each year where residents and businesses can have documents shredded, safely recycle computer equipment and electronics as well as books. Recycling benefits our land, water and air. When you recycle you are:

  • Reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators
  • Conserving natural resources such as timber, water and minerals
  • Increasing economic security by tapping a domestic source of materials
  • Preventing pollution by reducing the need to collect new raw materials
  • Saving energy
  • Supporting American manufacturing and conserving valuable resources
  • Helping to create jobs in the recycling and manufacturing industries in the United States

In addition to glass, metal, and plastic as shown on the chart below, we accept all mixed paper, magazines, and cardboard. Also, styrofoam can be recycled at the Middletown Styrofoam Recycling Collection Center.
