Recycling in Edison: A Local Guide
Edison Township in Middlesex County is home to two recycling facilities located on the same Meadow Road corridor, each serving a distinct material stream. Together they cover construction and demolition debris, clean organics, and a wide range of scrap metals, giving residents and contractors practical local options for diverting materials from the landfill.
Yannuzzi Materials Corp., at 327 Meadow Rd, is a NJDEP-licensed Class B recycling facility (permit #132324) operated by the fourth-generation Yannuzzi Group. It specializes in construction, demolition, and clean organic materials: concrete, brick and block, wood and wood pallets, brush, leaves, and tree parts including stumps. Incoming concrete and masonry are crushed on-site to produce recycled aggregate; wood and organics are chipped into mulch. The yard also sells topsoil, compost, crushed stone, sand, and gravel, making it possible to drop off debris and pick up landscaping materials in a single trip. It is a rail-fed industrial facility primarily serving contractors and demolition firms; public drop-off may be accommodated — call (908) 218-0880 to confirm load requirements and any tipping fees. Hours (per Yelp, June 2026): Mon–Wed 7:00 AM–4:00 PM, Thu 7:00 AM–4:30 PM, Fri 6:00 AM–4:00 PM, Sat 8:00 AM–1:00 PM, closed Sunday.
Central Jersey Recycling, at 381 Meadow Rd, is a walk-in scrap metal yard that buys ferrous and non-ferrous metals from the public, paying cash by weight at current commodity prices — no drop-off fee. Accepted metals include copper (#1 and #2), brass, aluminum, steel and light iron, stainless steel, cast iron, radiators, insulated wire, and car batteries. Stainless steel kegs are not accepted. Hours are reported as Monday–Friday 7:00 AM–4:30 PM and Saturday 7:00 AM–12:00 PM; call (732) 985-7086 to confirm current prices and hours before hauling.
Neither facility handles household curbside recyclables like glass, paper, plastics, or food containers — for those, Edison Township residents should use the municipal single-stream program. For scrap metal, Central Jersey Recycling is the walk-in buyer; for C&D and yard debris, Yannuzzi is the industrial processor on the same road.
