please be sure to place them curbside the evening prior to the scheduled collection.
Please remember to put your recyclables in reusable containers (garbage

4Scrap Metal Disposal
If you are in possession of scrap metal and are not sure how to safely dispose of it, bring
it to the Maplewood Recycling Center at 359 Boyden Avenue. If the item is too large or
heavy for you to transport, please call the Maplewood Department of Public Works at
973-762-1175 to schedule a curbside pickup.
Recycle Your Cooking/Motor Oil, and Antifreeze
Pouring used cooking oil down your kitchen sink, or toilet, will lead to blockages in your
plumbing system, as well as the Township’s sewer system. When a blockage happens, it
could lead to sewage backing up into your, or a neighbors, home.
Recycle your used cooking oil at the Maplewood Recycling Center. There is a large
container on premises in which you can easily dispose of your used cooking oil in a safe
and eco-friendly method. We also recycle used motor oil, car batteries, and antifreeze at
the public works yard.
Motor oil can be disposed of in a large yellow canister on premises, and antifreeze can be
disposed of in a white container directly beside the motor oil canister. Car batteries and
air conditioners can be placed on the sidewalk directly beside the white antifreeze
container. If you should need assistance locating the canisters, or lifting an air
conditioner, please call public works at 973-762-1175.
Please keep in mind the antifreeze, battery, and oil recycling services are drop-off
only. This feature is for residential use only; commercial businesses are not
permitted to dispose of any materials at the public works yard.
Shred-It Day
Shred-It Day is an opportunity for Maplewood residents to shred any personal paper
items such as legal documents, private records and files, books, etc. There will be two
Shred-It Days at the Maplewood Recycling Center, located at 359 Boyden Ave, as
follows:
1. April 7, 2018 from 8am – 12pm, or until the truck fills up, whichever occurs first.
