Recycle goods
I don't use garbage pickup in Hackettstown so how and where can I get rid of recycle bottles. Plastic glass ect. Are there drop off points?
SpeillNot sure about local drop off places, but here's the Warren County waste center for all your disposal needs.

Jeff M Local drop off depends on the town, which was not mentioned.
If you're not using a pickup then you must be dropping off yourself at the county dump. So as Jeff M pointed out, that would also be the same place to take your recycling at the same time.
GC Does anyone know the pickup days for the cans of recycling material in hackettstown? I am new to the area and cannot seem to find the pick up day for recycling!
AP AP it all depends on who you have pickup your garbage. The town doesn't pickup recycling.
Sunshine Anyone know where I can dispose of old empty paint cans, some with old paint in it too.
Botheredbyuu2 Latex paint you can throw in the trash... oil-based paint is considered hazardous and must be taken to a recycling center.
ianimal ^ You can buy a chemical mix (Home Depot / Lowe’s for a couple of dollars) that will harden the paint and make it suitable for throwing out in the regular trash.
Edited to add I am not sure about the distinction between oil and latex paints and how that may affect putting it in the trash after being treated.
D-ManPV you can also dry out latex by pouring kitty litter in it - and it will dry out enough to put out with the garbage
4catmom Thanks. I'm just wondering if there's a certain day that the recycling center takes paint.
If it's oil-based paint, they're having a household hazardous waste collection day on April 28th from 8am to noon. If it's latex paint, they don't want it.

My understanding is if it's latex, open cans, let dry out, then can put it in with your regular trash. Oil base, you'll have to hold until hazardous waste recycling once or twice a year.
