FANWOOD, NJ -- Fanwood is providing residents with a new recycling app called Recycle Coach designed to make recycling more convenient for residents and to increase participation. The mobile application can be installed for free on tablets, smart phones, and computers so that information and resources are available at your fingertips.



Recycle Coach is now available for download through the iTunes Store, Google Play Store or recyclecoach.com. The app is customized for Fanwood and allows users to:

View Fanwood Public Works pickup schedules

View County-wide recycling centers and schedules

Answer questions on how best to recycle a questionable item; be it bi-weekly curbside pickup, 1st Saturday Recycling Center drop-off, special county event, Fanwood Fall Bulk Waste pickup or simply toss it in the garbage.

Report a problem (missed collection, damaged or missing bin, incorrect app info).

Communicate with PMUA, Fanwood DPW and app administrator.

Receive notifications of schedule changes and updates.

Mayor Colleen Mahr said: “We want to give residents every tool possible to ensure Fanwood’s curbside recycling program is successful and convenient. We hope the app will increase recycling and limit the amount of recyclables headed to the landfill so we can continue to do our part to promote a healthy planet.”
