For 136 Scotch Rd Facility 

To save tax dollars and end abuses of Convenience Center privileges by non-residents and commercial entities Ewing Township has instituted a structured process for dropping off bulk waste at the Convenience Center on 136 Scotch Road (as of March 1, 2019/updated March 8,2024).  Each Ewing address is now entitled to 10 pickup truck load drop-off visits to the facility per year with the purchase of a $50 bulk validation card.

Requirements

A photo ID is required to complete your card registration.

To save some time, you may choose to register one household user in Community Pass online in advance. However, an in-person visit to have your picture taken and pay and receive your card is required to complete the registration.

All households are restricted to 10 visits to the facility annually. The validation cards may not be recharged for more visits and you cannot purchase more visits for your cards. Card use is not transferable and bulk waste generated from outside Ewing Township is not permitted.

Restrictions

Convenience Center privileges are limited to legal residents of Ewing Township only. The following groups are excluded from the Convenience Center: commercial entities, County, State of Federal governments, and non-residents of the Township living in student dormitories and/or housing located on the campus of The College of New Jersey. Contractors are not allowed. Materials may not be dropped off in vehicles with commercial plates.

Each separate trip to the Convenience Center shall constitute a separate drop-off for purposes of calculating each resident's twelve residential bulk waste drop-offs, even if occurring on the same day.  

Residents from separate households may not share a Validation Card regardless of whether the residential bulk waste originated from another residential address within the Township. 

Validation Cards used in violation of this order shall be seized and not returned and any remaining drop-offs associated with that address will be vacated for that calendar year.

Quantity and size limitations

• One car, SUV or standard pickup truck bed filled with materials constitutes one drop-off
• One utility trailer filled with materials  constitutes one drop-off.
• Overage (2 drop-offs) - if the materials rises more than 2 feet above the bed of the truck or trailer.

 Utility Trailer restrictions

•  Maximum of 6 x 8 in size.
• Not enclosed
• Must be towed by a car or SUV, no pickups.  

For full details see Mayor's Executive Order dated March 8, 2024.

The Township no longer provides solid waste removal for any commercial properties, which includes trash, bulk items and recyclables. It is NJ LAW to recycle. The Mercer County Improvement Authority does provide pick up for small businesses. Contact MCIA @ (609) 278-8086 for more information on small business recycling.
