Recycling in Pennsauken: A Local Guide
Pennsauken Township, in Camden County just north of Camden, has two recycling facilities that serve very different but complementary needs: a full-service scrap-metal yard that pays you for your metal, and a state-certified electronics and universal-waste recycler that accepts e-waste free of charge for New Jersey residents.
Sgt. Scrap at 9105 Burrough Dover Lane is a paved scrap yard with a truck scale serving Camden County and the wider Philadelphia area. The yard buys ferrous and non-ferrous metals — copper (all grades), aluminum, brass, stainless steel, lead, radiators, e-scrap (circuit boards, servers, hard drives, memory, laptops), steel, and wheels — and pays at market prices posted daily. Non-functional cars can be brought in for auto salvage, and a mobile pickup service is available for loads of at least 500 lb of non-ferrous material. New Jersey law requires a valid government-issued photo ID to complete any transaction. The yard is open seven days a week: Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Thanks For Being Green (also operating as Magnum Computer Recycling) at 5070 B Central Highway is an NJDEP Class D certified Universal Waste Handler (license PI# 593413). Under New Jersey's Electronic Waste Management Act, the site accepts covered electronic devices — computers, monitors, laptops, printers, fax machines, and televisions — free of charge for qualifying NJ consumers and small businesses. It is also licensed for batteries, fluorescent and universal-waste lamps, and mercury-containing devices, and it recycles solar panels. The facility is open Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM; closed weekends. Scheduled pickup service is available throughout the Delaware Valley for counties, municipalities, school districts, and businesses.
