NOTES ABOUT LIVINGSTON RECYCLING

  • When a holiday falls on your recycling day or earlier in the same week, the recycling pick-up will take place on the following day from your regular schedule. Refer to the Town Planner Calendar for your scheduled pick up dates. 
  • What can you recycle?
  • Beginning July 2, 2012 Giordano Companies of Newark is collecting the residential curbside recycling.  For missed pickups contact them at their toll free phone number (800) 216-2250 or email dispatch@gogreengiordano.com.   
  • Livingston's recycling ordinance (40-2008)
  • NJ residents can no longer put TVs, computers and monitors out on the curb for regular trash collection pickup. Instead, these items must be taken to a drop-off point, such as a county or municipal solid waste collection center or a participating electronics retail store. Best Buy stores statewide and community-based service programs, most notably Goodwill Industries and the Salvation Army, also accept these materials.

    For more information on New Jersey’s E-Cycle program, including a list of e-waste recycling locations statewide, a connection to all 21 county recycling web sites, and information for consumers on “front door’’ pickup service to deal with extra heavy televisions or for people with special needs, visit: http://www.nj.gov/dep/dshw/ewaste/index.html
