E Waste Collection

The Township of Brick no longer offers curbside collection of E-Waste or accepts E-Waste at the Township Recycling Center. E-Waste is made up of electronic devices such as televisions, radios, computers, mobile phones and other electronic devices.

The elimination of E-Waste collection was necessitated by the rising costs to dispose of electronic items. At one time, the Township generated revenue through E-Waste collection. Over recent years, the service began costing the township money.

Residents may still dispose of E-Waste at the Ocean County Recycling Center, 601 New Hampshire Avenue in Lakewood Township.
