Hazardous waste
Not a household hazardous waste site. Not accepted (official list): asbestos, automobile fluids, biohazardous waste, button batteries, construction materials, driveway sealer, gasoline, herbicides, insulation, kerosene, motor oil, oil-based paints and stains, pesticides, pool chemicals, propane tanks, siding, and smoke detectors. The Township directs prohibited materials to the Morris County MUA Mount Olive Transfer Station, 168 Gold Mine Road, by appointment (973-347-8106), and household hazardous waste to MCMUA events and its HHW facility (973-829-8006). Lead-acid car and motorcycle batteries and rechargeable batteries are accepted at the center; alkaline batteries go in household trash.
Holiday closures
The official Recycling Information page says the center is closed on holidays and during inclement weather, but does not print a dated 2026 holiday list. Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, November 26, 2026) falls on a regular open weekday; Christmas Day (Friday, December 25, 2026) also falls on a regular open weekday. Confirm holiday-week hours with the Department of Health at 973-989-7050.

Other notes
- Facts from the official Randolph Township Recycling Information and Recycling Guidelines pages, fetched November 12, 2026, plus the Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority facility listing for street-address context.
- Official source conflict on electronics: the Recycling Guidelines page says a drop-off receptacle for home electronics (televisions, computers, monitors, laptops, keyboards and mice, fax machines, VCRs, and radios) is available at the center, but the same page also lists "electronic waste" among items not accepted. Both are shown; confirm at 973-989-7050 before bringing electronics.
- The Morris County MUA listing prints the address as 1345 Sussex Turnpike with ZIP 07069 and carries hours notes updated November 9, 2011; Randolph ZIP codes on Township pages are 07869. Treat the MCMUA ZIP as an official-listing typo and rely on the Township location wording.
- Branches up to 4 feet long and 4 inches in diameter are accepted year-round (no stumps). Grass clippings are accepted weekends only, in containers. Rigid plastics such as large toys, 5-gallon buckets with handles removed, laundry baskets, crates, storage containers, and outdoor furniture are accepted at the center but not curbside. Plastics 3, 4, 6, and 7 are not accepted. Unbroken fluorescent lights: see the attendant.
- Non-profit drop boxes for clothing, toys, and household goods are next to the attendant office.
