Brick Residential Construction Material Collection Set For Saturday

BRICK, NJ — If you have construction materials at your home that you need to dispose of, this weekend is your opportunity to do that, Brick Township officials say.

The township's Public Works Recycling Center, 836 Ridge Road, will accept construction materials from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 13. Materials that will be accepted include kitchen cabinets, sheetrock, plywood, wood trim, molding, wood floors, tile flooring, decking, ceiling tiles, paneling, doors, 2X4s, roofing shingles and outdoor sheds.

Hazardous materials will not be accepted, officials said.

The township stopped collecting construction materials in 2009 due to steep increases in landfill tipping fees, but established the construction material collection days in response to resident requests.

This is for residents only; contractors or commercial vehicles will not be permitted. Proof of residency in the form of a tax bill and driver’s license is required to gain access to the Center. Materials must be brought to the site; there will be no curbside collection offered.

“While the policy of not accepting construction material has saved the township significant money by ending abuse by contractors, it has also been an inconvenience for residents who have been doing minor projects around their homes and yards,” Mayor John Ducey said.

There will be another construction material collection on Saturday, Oct. 21.
