Local Tips & Community Info
Earning Cash Back for Your Bottles and Cans in Evesham?
While Evesham Township has a Transfer Station for recycling, New Jersey has a statewide "Bottle Bill" that lets you get money back for certain beverage containers. Look for the 5-cent deposit on cans and bottles like soda, beer, and water. You can redeem these at most grocery stores that sell these beverages. It's a nice way to get a little cash back while keeping those items out of the landfill. For larger amounts of scrap metal, you might want to check out local scrap yards in the greater South Jersey area that buy various metals like aluminum, copper, and steel. A quick search for 'scrap metal buyers South Jersey' should point you in the right direction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is responsible for collecting recycling in Evesham Township?
While Evesham's Department of Public Works handles regular trash and yard waste, all residential curbside recycling in Marlton is centrally managed and collected by the Occupational Training Center (OTC) of Burlington County.
How do I throw away an old mattress in Marlton?
You can place a mattress out on your regular trash collection day as one of your two allotted bulk items. However, to comply with New Jersey health and safety protocols protecting sanitation workers from bedbugs, the mattress and box spring MUST be fully wrapped and sealed in a plastic mattress bag.
Can I put my grass clippings and yard leaves in plastic bags?
No. Evesham Township requires all yard waste to be placed in either biodegradable paper yard bags or reusable open-top containers. Plastic bags filled with yard waste will be tagged and left at the curb by DPW crews.
Where can I safely dispose of an old TV or computer?
Electronics are strictly banned from landfills in New Jersey and will not be collected curbside with your regular trash. Evesham residents must drop off e-waste in person at the Public Works yard located at 100 Sharp Road.
