E-Waste, Batteries, Tires Can Be Recycled In Chester This Weekend

CHESTER TWP., N.J. – If you need it recycled, there’s a good chance Chester Township will take it this Saturday.

From 8 a.m. to noon on April 2, the Chester Department of Public Works on Furnace Road will be home to a recycling program allowing electronics, batteries, and tires to be discarded.

For the e-waste drop-off residents need to show proof of Chester residency and drop-off is free of charge.

For the battery drop-off there is no charge, but there is a fee for tires. Car tires with rims are $6 each; car tires without rims are $3 each; truck tires between $8 and $13 each depending on size; and large tractor and heavy duty truck tires are $4.50 per ply.

A recent notice put out by Morris County announced nearly 400 illegally dumped automobile tires were found in 18 different locations across Chester Borough and Chester Township during a 15-year period. See more about that here.
