IMPORTANT RECYCLING REMINDERS:
- Plastic bags are not allowed in the recycling barrel.
- Always use the official Village of Ridgewood barrel for collection of bottles & cans.
The Village of Ridgewood provides residential curbside collection of many recyclable materials. We also operate a full-service recycling center.
