About This Location

The Borough of Point Pleasant's recycling center sits behind the Stop & Shop plaza where Bridge Avenue meets Route 88. Beyond the usual curbside bottles, cans and paper, it takes a wide range of extras: empty paint cans with the lids removed, cell phones, rechargeable and car batteries, hard-cover books and phone books, computers, televisions and other electronics, fluorescent bulbs, shrink wrap, scrap metal and white goods, large corrugated cardboard, leaves, brush, textiles and clothing. Tires are accepted after a $2 disposal fee is paid at Borough Hall. Attendants are on duty and you should be ready to show ID.
