• Contaminated, improperly prepared, or unacceptable materials will not be collected. Rinse food and beverage containers.
• Dispose of lids and caps. There is no need to remove labels. Flatten plastic containers to save space.
• Homeowners in Scotch Plains may "single stream" their recycling, which means both co-mingled material and paper material may be placed in one container.
• For Scotch Plains Residents who wish to use the Westfield Conservation Center located on Lamberts Mill Road, a special annual fee is available. Call the Westfield Department of Public Works at (908) 789-4100 ext. 600 for more details on obtaining and completing the application.
