Bergen County to Host Free Recycling Event

The Bergen County Utilities Authority will host an e-waste, tire and personal document recycling event.

The event will take place Saturday between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Bergen County Community College in Paramus.

The BCUA will accept confidential documents from Bergen County residents such as tax documents and bank statements. Non-confidential documents will not be accepted at the event and can be recycled through the local municipal recycling facilities. The BCUA will accept no more than four boxes or bags of documents weighing 10 pounds each due to the scale of the event.

Electronic equipment for recycling such as computers, cellular phones, motherboards, modems, stereo equipment, televisions, VCRs, DVDs, photocopiers and fax machines will be accepted at the event. Residents may bring up to four tires with or without rims on Saturday.

The services provided at the event are free and are open to Bergen County residents only. Those interested in attending must bring proof of residency.

BCUA aims to provide the residents of Bergen County with wastewater treatment and solid waste management services.

More information on the event can be found on the Bergen County website.
