Recycling in Keyport
Welcome to Keyport Recycles, your centralized resource for recycling in Keyport Borough. This website is made possible through the cooperation of the Keyport Borough Recycling Committee, Mayor and Council, and the Keyport Borough Administration.
By separating your unwanted materials, collectively known as solid waste, into various categories, less waste is buried in the landfill. Recyclables are reused to create new products. This helps to save the earth’s natural resources and improves our quality of life. The list of federal, state and local recyclables has grown over the years and we ask you to recycle as much as you can by using our simple program.
Why Recycle?
Municipalities in Monmouth County generate tons of garbage each year. Most of it is transported to the landfill in Tinton Falls, where it will stay forever.
Currently, only about 52% of the garbage in Monmouth County is recycled. Recyclable items do NOT go to the landfill, which saves money and protects the environment. Recycled items can also be made into new products.
