The collection of e-waste will be similar to the metal collection program where Woodbury residents are asked to place the “E-Waste” items curbside and to keep them separated from your regular trash. Residents are asked to contact the Public Works office (856-853-0892) to be placed on the collection list. Once on the list, Public Works employees will collect your items curbside. All items will be taken to a NJDEP approved recycling facility for processing. ***Help keep Woodbury “Green” by getting on the list!***
