Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Newark Recycling Center on Corporate Blvd free to use?

Yes — all recycling services are completely free for Delaware residents. The only requirement is that the materials were generated within Delaware.

Can I drop off old paint or hazardous household chemicals at the Newark DSWA center?

Yes, but only on Wednesdays between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, when the Household Hazardous Waste program is open. Latex paint specifically is accepted on the last Wednesday of each month. The facility is open until 3:30 PM on Wednesdays, so HHW drop-off closes 1.5 hours before general recycling does.

Does the Newark Recycling Center accept electronics?

Yes — electronics recycling is available during regular operating hours (Monday through Saturday, 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM). No appointment is needed for electronics drop-off.
