Got An Old Plastic Bucket To Dispose Of? Brick Recycling Will Take It

If you have old plastic lawn furniture that you need to dispose of, don’t throw it in the trash.

Starting next week, Brick Township public works crews will begin collecting it curbside, according to a news release from the town.

The collection of rigid plastics will be on-demand -- meaning you’ll have to call and request it -- and will occur every Tuesday beginning March 3.

All rigid plastics collected will be brought to the Northern Ocean County Recycling Center and processed as a recyclable commodity.

Acceptable items for curbside collection include the following:

• Plastic buckets with metal handles
• Plastic milk/soda crates
• Plastic laundry baskets
• Plastic lawn furniture
• Plastic landscape and microwave trays
• Plastic totes – any size (with metal)
• Plastic dish drainers
• Plastic toys and playhouses
• Plastic car seats
• Plastic pet carriers
• Plastic pallets
• Plastic closet organizers
• Plastic traffic signs
• Empty garbage cans (any size)
• PET blister pack
• Computer housing (no circuits)
• Automotive plastics (bumpers, pickup truck bed liners)
• Plastic shelving

Residents wishing to schedule a rigid plastics collection should call 732-451-4060. Rigid plastics can also be brought to the Township Recycling Center, 836 Ridge Road, Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
