As of January 1, 2011 it is mandatory to recycle covered electronic devices according to State law entitled “The Electronic Waste Management Act.” The Borough of Barrington DPW began accepting electronics in 2010 and have recycled 147.77 tons since then as of the end of 2020.

If residents have electronic items such as televisions that are too heavy or burdensome to drop off to the DPW, please call and we will make special arrangements to pick up. Please be advised that any electronic items put to the curb for trash will not be picked up.

For more information on electronic recycling you can go to the NJDEP website or the Borough electronic waste vendor’s website.
