The pilot program to extend the Linden Recycling Center hours will occur on Wednesdays only, until 8pm, through October 2022. The extended hours on Wednesdays will allow Linden residents with later work schedules to drop off their recyclables. The Recycling Center hours will remain the same for the other days of the week.
Union County’s Pumpkin Recycling Program will turn old pumpkins into a renewable, sustainable energy – and count towards your recycling tonnage! Union County has set up one drop off location in Cranford for all county residents and Westfield Conservation Center, located at 1300 Lamberts Mill Road, has also offered to be a drop off location. Collection will start Monday, November 2nd and run daily through Friday November 6th from 9am to 2pm.

The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders is pleased to announce the launch of Recycle Coach, a free app designed to help make recycling and solid waste information more accessible to County residents and engage the public in the principles of “Reduce, Re-use and Recycle.”
Recycle Coach provides accurate, up-to-date information on Union County’s recycling events as well as local recycling schedules in a handy, user-friendly mobile format. “Recycle Coach is an excellent opportunity for Union County residents to obtain accurate, up-to-date information on both county recycling events and local recycling schedules with the touch of a button,” said Freeholder Chairman Sergio Granados. “We look forward to partnering with all 21 Union County municipalities on this exciting new initiative, and pitching in together to boost participation and improve recycling rates countywide.”
The app provides personalized collection schedules based on place of residence. Once a resident downloads Recycle Coach, their calendar will list Union County recycling events along with local curbside garbage and recycling schedules. The app will advise if there are changes in local collection due to holidays or weather. Recycle Coach users can also set up recycling reminders and improve their recycling rates through a “What Goes Where?” search tool.
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection is the first state to purchase the Recycle Coach app and make it available to all New Jersey residents free of charge. “By improving recycling rates here in Union County, we will also be contributing to our state’s ongoing commitment as a national leader in recycling,” said Chairman Granados.
