Somerset County Public Works
Recycling Center in Bridgewater, New Jersey
About This Location
The North County Public Works Facility at 411 Chimney Rock Road in Bridgewater (Building B, north of Route 22) is Somerset County's weekday electronic-waste drop-off site. Open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., it accepts a wide range of electronics — computers, monitors, televisions, printers, phones, cables, and more — free of charge for Somerset County residents. No appointment is needed, but proof of Somerset County residency is required at every visit, and businesses and commercial vehicles are not permitted. One important restriction: no batteries of any kind are accepted here. Note that the county's separate First Saturday recyclables drop-off (tires, scrap metal, motor oil, curbside materials) is held at the Somerset County Recycling Center at 40 Polhemus Lane, Bridgewater — not at this address — and the county's Operation Secure Shred document-shredding events are a distinct program, not part of this e-waste drop-off.
