EDISON — South Edison’s recycling drop-off center, which was temporarily closed for upgrades, has reopened for public use, township officials announced.
The center, at 471 Meadow Road, is open 6 a.m.-6 p.m., Monday through Saturday. The reopening comes a month after Edison opened a new North Edison recycling drop-off site at the Minnie Veal Community Center on Grove Avenue in response to residents’ requests.
Area residents may drop off the same recyclables they put into their household recycling bins for curbside collection — newspapers, magazines, mixed paper, flattened cardboard, food containers, tin, aluminum and bimetal cans, glass jars and bottles, and plastics stamped with #1-7 recycle codes.
Curbside recyclable collections will continue as usual, but the Meadow Road drop-off center is available for residents who miss their collection days or who accumulate a quantity of recyclables between collections.
Edison is providing “single-source” recycling bins at the Meadow Road drop-off site and the new facility behind Minnie Veal, meaning that residents do not need to presort their household recyclables before dropping them off.
