NOTICE
LOWER TOWNSHIP RECYCLING CENTER — TEMPORARY CLOSURE
The Lower Township Recycling Center will be temporarily closed on or around November 1, 2026, for construction and renovations.
Because NJ Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) regulations govern yard waste facilities, the Township has limited options for alternate drop-off locations.
To assist residents during the closure, the Lower Township MUA is temporarily allowing Lower Township residents to drop off approved yard waste at:
🗓️ Saturdays: November 7, 14, and 21, 2026
🕖 7:00 a.m. to noon
These are the only dates and hours authorized for this temporary arrangement. Please do not bring materials to the MUA outside these times.
MUST SHOW PROOF OF RESIDENCY
Accepted materials are:
No Stumps or Trunks
This temporary service does not replace all services normally available at the Recycling Center.
We thank the Lower Township MUA for its assistance and cooperation, and our residents for their patience during these improvements. Reopening updates will be provided as construction progresses.

The Township does permit a 10 day grace period. The State of New Jersey does not allow the Tax Collector to acknowledge postmark, therefore taxes must be received in the office on or before the 10th.
