The Burlington County Department of Solid Waste and Recycling announced changes to the recycling schedule this week due to the Thanksgiving holiday.

Thanksgiving 2021 Holiday Schedule

Beverly, Delanco, Edgewater Park, Willingboro – Recycle Friday, Nov. 26th

Burlington County is one of the only counties in New Jersey to collect recycling from all its towns and one of the few to not charge a fee for this service. Last year, more than 40,000 tons of waste were recycled through the program, saving towns and their taxpayers more than $3.4 million in landfill disposal fees.
