i agree - robin. the people at jcia should realize that many of us work!

10 am - 3 pm Monday - Friday, those are not the hours you post when you actually want to provide a useful service to residents.

Thanks for nothing JCIA.

Robin.

Ithink JCIA should do like they do in NYC and have hazardous waste disposal fairs, such as the one in Union Square, where residents can bring their hazmat stuff.

Jersey City Incinerator Authority has new recycling program for household appliances, e-waste

Jersey City residents now have the opportunity to recycle large household appliances and electronic equipment through the Jersey City Incinerator Authority's "White Goods and E-Waste" recycling programs.

The program allows residents to dispose of these white goods and/or e-waste products either by arranging a pick-up over the phone or by bringing the waste to be recycled in person to the JCIA?s headquarters, located at 501 Rt. 440.

Those who wish to arrange a pick-up by phone should call the JCIA at 201-435-4645, ext. 600, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Those who wish to deliver their waste in person to JCIA?s headquarters can do so Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Residents taking advantage of the program must provide proof of Jersey City residency, such as a driver?s license or utility bill.

Some examples of white goods that will be accepted as part of this program include refrigerators, air conditioners, stoves, microwaves, hot water heaters, washing machines and dryers. Examples of e-waste that will be accepted include computers and computer equipment, TVs, VCRs/DVD players, stereos, radios, copiers, fax machines and scanners, as well as phones.

The reuse and/or recycling of these materials conserves natural resources, and reduces the pollution and greenhouse gas emissions that results from having to make new materials, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

?We?re concerned about ensuring the proper disposal of large household items and consumer electronics,? JCIA CEO Oren K. Dabney Sr. said in a press release. ?That?s why we implemented these programs to increase the collection and responsible recycling of consumer goods. Together, with our residents, JCIA will continue to recycle our way to a cleaner, healthier environment.?
