Curbside pickup of bottles/cans and paper/cardboard takes place once every other week. Please use the official tan colored container for your bottles & cans and the town-issued milk crate for your newspaper and junk mail. Other ways to dispose of loose paper are in a paper bag or a cardboard box. Additional cardboard boxes should be flattened and tied, or nested, and placed next to the barrel on collection day. Recycling services do not need to be pre-arranged. Two different trucks will service your property and the material should be properly separated and placed at the curb in the official containers.
On certain Wednesdays Ridgewood offers a curbside pickup for automobile tires, auto batteries, or scrap metal including metal appliances.
