Sustainability + Recycling

E-WASTE ( ELECTRONIC WASTE) : DO NOT PLACE AT THE CURB

E-Waste Update:

Township residents can recycle e-waste by bringing items such as televisions, cell phones, or “anything with a plug” to the Department of Public Works located at 504 Oneida Ave. Electronic waste, commonly referred to as e-waste, is the largest and fastest growing waste stream, thus prompting the State of New Jersey to mandate the recycling of these items which took effect in January of 2011 (N.J.S.A. 13:1E99. Et seq.)

SUSTAINABLE HADDON:

Haddon Township is a SILVER certified Sustainable Jersey community.

Haddon Township is one of only 27 communities in New Jersey to have achieved a silver level of certification. To become Sustainable Jersey certified, the Township had to complete a balance of rigorous sustainability actions.
