Accepted Items
 Commingled Materials: Glass Bottles, Tin and Aluminum Cans, Plastic Bottles
and Containers (Type #1, #2 and #5 except Gasoline and Chemical containers).
Containers should be rinsed out to eliminate food and liquid contamination.
 Corrugated Cardboard, must be clean and flattened. Remove plastic wraps and
packaging materials from boxes (like plastic bags or Styrofoam). Pizza boxes
with oil stains are not accepted. All other cardboard such as chipboard (cereal
boxes, etc.) and paper towel roll cores go in the mixed paper bin. Juice boxes
and milk cartons go in your regular garbage. Placing non-corrugated cardboard
in the corrugated cardboard container contaminates and lowers the value of our
recyclable materials.
 E-Waste: Since 2009 electronic equipment such as TVs, computer monitors,
digital audio players, laser and inkjet printers, hard drives and keyboards can no
longer be placed at the curb for pick up in Verona. Bring it to the Recycling
Center to make sure that toxins stay out of the waste stream. E-waste contains
mercury, cadmium, lead and other hazardous components. The Electronic Waste
Management Act effective January 1, 2011 requires e-waste to be recycled in the
state of New Jersey.

brown paper grocery bags, shredded paper and all Chipboard (Cereal Boxes,
Paper towel roll cores, etc). Juice boxes and milk cartons go in your regular

Container, and antifreeze in a separate container, both located in the Public
Works Garage, Monday-Friday, 8 am to 4 pm.
 White Goods/Metal items such as bicycles, air conditioners and file cabinets.
 Clothing and shoe collection container for donations.
 Rechargeable Batteries: batteries commonly used in cell phones, laptop

Recycling Center designated bin. For increased safety place a piece of tape on
