6. The Avalon Department of Public Works will gladly collect rigid plastics from the curbside of your property. These plastics will be collected for recycling. Rigid plastics include empty plastic buckets, storage containers, toys, lawn furniture, flower pots and other rigid plastic items. Kindly call us at (609) 967-7694 to let us know you have rigid plastics curbside, and we will pick them up for recycling.

7. New Jersey requires that old TVs, computers and computer monitors - items known collectively as electronic waste, or e-waste - must be recycled as of January 1, 2011, as required by the Electronic Waste Management Act. The Electronic Waste Management Act bans the disposal of televisions and all personal or portable computers - including desktop, notebook and laptop computers, as well as computer monitors - in the regular waste stream beginning Jan. 1, 2011. Manufacturers of these devices will now be funding the collection of e-waste so that it is free for consumers. The new law means residents can no longer put TVs, computers and monitors out on the curb for pickup under regular solid waste collection programs. Many residents will have to take these items to a drop-off point, such as a county or municipal solid waste collection center or a participating electronics retail store. Avalon already conducts an e-waste pickup curbside in our community. For more information, please call (609) 967-7694.
