The Union County Board of County Commissioners will be holding another Beyond the Bin recycling event on Saturday, November 2nd from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on the campus of UCNJ Union College of Union County, NJ in Cranford. The address for the campus 1033 Springfield Avenue in Cranford. The event will be held in parking lots 5A and 5B. All residents are asked to bring all unwanted, acceptable items to the event.
“As part of my ‘Growing Together in Union County’ initiative, we are committed to creating sustainable and efficient recycling opportunities for our residents. The Beyond the Bin event makes it convenient for everyone to dispose of multiple items responsibly in one location, ensuring that materials are properly recycled and given a second life,” said Union County Commissioner Chairwoman Kimberly Palmieri-Mouded. “I encourage all residents to participate and take advantage of this valuable program as we work towards a more environmentally conscious Union County.”
The County of Union understands that several challenges within the current recycling program still exist. Some residents may be unaware that certain items, such as a broken computer or old printer for instance, have to be recycled by New Jersey State law. Others are unsure of where to take items such as old unwanted clothing and accessories, reusable bags, mattresses, and food waste to be recycled. In turn, they then throw these items in the trash. By throwing them in the trash, residents unknowingly add to the waste problem on the planet and do not give these items a second life by recycling them.
For example, it takes fifty to one hundred years for a mattress to decompose in a landfill. Every landfill that is dumped into a landfill takes up 23 cubic feet of space. There were an estimated twenty million mattresses dumped into landfills last year as a result in people buying new mattresses. With that being said, 90% of a mattress can be transformed into reusable materials.
Another staggering statistic that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shares is that food waste is estimated to be between 30% and 40% of the food supply is thrown out into the waste stream (https://www.fda.gov/food/consumers/food-loss-and-waste). Food is the single largest category of material placed in municipal landfills. With that being said, by recycling this food through the Waste Management CORe system (https://nj.gov/dep/dshw/food-waste-recycling-law/wm_core_overview.pdf), it gives our unused food or food scraps a second life as energy.
Union County’s Beyond the Bin recycling event has partnered with the organizations MRM http://www.mrmrecycling.com/, Helpsy www.helpsy.co, Waste Management https://www.wm.com/, Renewable Recycling, Inc. https://renewablerecycling.com/, GoaTote Inc. https://goatote.com/ in the collection of the following items:

The Union County Board of County Commissioners, in coordination with the Union County Bureau of Recycling and Planning, is encouraging all Union County residents to join in and make this traditionally orange holiday season a little greener by participating in the Pumpkin Recycling Program this November. Residents can recycle their post-Halloween Jack o’ Lanterns, decorative pumpkins, and other gourds from Friday, November 1st, through Saturday, November 30th, at seven participating locations throughout the county.
“I am pleased to announce the expansion of our popular Pumpkin Recycling Program to seven additional drop-off locations this season,” said Union County Commissioner Chairwoman Kimberly Palmieri-Mouded. “This sustainable alternative for disposing of pumpkins aligns with our commitment to environmental responsibility, and we are thrilled to bring it back again this year. I encourage all residents to join us in transforming food waste into clean energy by bringing their pumpkins to any of our participating locations this November.”
The Pumpkin Recycling Program will run from Friday, November 1st through Saturday, November 30th at the following locations:
Berkeley Heights
DPW facility located next to town hall | Monday through Friday from 6:30 am to 3:00 pm
1st and 3rd Saturday of the month from 9:00 am to noon
Kenilworth
401 Sheridan Avenue | Fridays from 7:00 am to 2:30 pm
1st and 3rd Saturday of the month from 7:30 am to noon
Linden
2 Donaldson Place | Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm
Plainfield
Roselle Park
Union Township
1 Swanstrom Place East | Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm
Westfield
Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm
Residents from any Union County municipality can use any of the seven locations, regardless of their hometown. Only pumpkins will be accepted at these locations, with candles and decorations removed. Other food waste will not be accepted.
When the Pumpkin Recycling Program concludes, the pumpkins will be sent to the CORe facility in Elizabeth, which is operated by Waste Management. The company’s specialized recycling process converts food waste into organic slurry, which is used to enhance the production of biogas and other renewable products at local wastewater treatment plants.
Food Waste is a global issue that contributes to excess greenhouse gas emissions, placing financial burdens on local governments for waste disposal. Although the world discards approximately 2.5 billion tons of food annually, the United States wastes more food than any country, discarding nearly 60 million tons. This amounts to 120 billion pounds of food each year, which is estimated to be almost 40% of the entire US food supply. This is equivalent to almost $218 billion, or 130 billion meals.
Traditionally, food waste is sent to landfills or burned in waste-to-energy facilities. However, new organic recycling systems offer a more sustainable approach to managing food waste. Residents can also help reduce food waste by using up leftovers and donating unused shelf items before their sell-by date expires. For more information, upcoming dates, and directions to all Union County recycling programs and locations, visit the Bureau of Recycling and Planning website at www.ucnj.org/recycle or call the Union County Recycling Hotline at 908-654-9889.
The Union County Board of County Commissioners is pleased to present a collection of artworks by students from Community Access Unlimited (CAU) currently being displayed in the Commissioners Gallery, located on the 6th floor of the Union County Administration Building at 10 Elizabethtown Plaza. Gallery hours are 9:00am to 5:00pm, weekdays. The exhibit will be displayed through November 22, 2024.
The exhibit is a part of the Academy of Continuing Education (ACE) offered by CAU. The ACE program provides post-graduate learning opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities. CAU is a Union County-based nonprofit committed to supporting people with disabilities and youth at risk in their quest to live their best lives. Beginning with homes in the community that allow them to live with dignity and choice, their comprehensive wraparound suite of services enables the full assimilation of individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) and youth at risk into society.
The ACE program offers a variety of courses such as reading, math, science, music, theater, visual art, self-help, history, finance and digital art. Students exercise their independence by selecting the groups that interest them. Many take both academic and arts-related courses, and those who have been attending for some time occasionally alter their schedule as their interests change and develop.
“We are proud to showcase the talent and creativity of these artists, who continue to break boundaries and inspire others through their work,” said Union County Commissioner Chairwoman Kimberly Palmieri-Mouded. “This exhibit is a testament to the power of inclusion, reflecting the commitment of both CAU and Union County to continue creating opportunities for all individuals to express themselves.”
CAU offers a wide range of programs for persons with disabilities and youth at risk. For more information about CAU, please visit www.caunj.org or call (908) 354-3040.

The Union County Board of County Commissioners invites all Union County residents to participate in the final Household Hazardous Waste event of the 2024 season. The free event will be held on Sunday, October 27th, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Union County Vo-Tech Campus in Scotch Plains.
“Our Household Hazardous Waste events provide residents with the opportunity to responsibly eliminate unwanted chemicals and other potentially hazardous items from their homes and yards, ensuring their safe and proper disposal,” said Union County Commissioner Chairwoman Kimberly Palmieri-Mouded. “By taking part, you are not only safeguarding your own living space but also championing the well-being of our entire community and ecosystem. I encourage all residents to participate in our Household Hazardous waste event before we close for the season.”
Household Hazardous Waste events provide Union County residents with a free and environmentally safe way to dispose of obsolete or unwanted household chemicals, mercury thermostats and thermometers, propane tanks, and many other items such as oil-based paint (no latex paint) and varnish, antifreeze, aerosol cans, pool chemicals, corrosives, pesticides, herbicides, solvents, thinners, fire extinguishers, motor oil and oil filters, gasoline, batteries, thermostats, fluorescent light bulbs (intact), mercury switches, and more. The Union County Police Department will also be on-site to handle the proper disposal of fireworks and ammunition that residents may have.
Union County Household Hazardous Waste events are contactless. Participants must remain in their vehicles while site staff unload their waste items. Only materials in original or labeled packaging will be accepted. Containers larger than five gallons will not be accepted.
Car, bicycle and motorcycle tires will also be accepted at this event. There is a limit of 8 tires (without rims) per household.

Please note that latex (water-based) wall paint is NOT accepted at household hazardous waste events. Residents who wish to dispose of latex paint are encouraged to use it, donate it, or dry the paint in the can and dispose of it in regular household trash without the lid. To help dry the paint, add kitty litter, newspaper, or a product called a residual paint hardener (which can be purchased at paint or home improvement stores).

Enjoy seasonal and historical activities for all ages at the Deserted Village of Feltville in Union County
The Union County Board of County Commissioners announces thatthe Deserted Village of Feltville will once again host an annual open house featuring old-fashioned children’s games, apple cider pressing, an archaeological activity, and guided tours as part of Union County’s Four Centuries in a Weekend event this Saturday and Sunday, October 19 and 20, from noon to 5:00 p.m. each day.
“The Deserted Village is a historic gem in Union County and a key part of our “Four Centuries” weekend events. Over 100,000 people visit this site throughout the year with their families, friends, and pets,” said Union County Commissioner Chairwoman Kimberly Palmieri-Mouded. “Our Commissioner Board and I are looking forward to completing several projects aimed at further preserving the historic buildings and improving the overall visitor experience. We welcome you to visit this weekend, take part in the activities, and see the progress we have achieved so far.”
All activities for the Four Centuries weekend are rain or shine, and most are free of charge. Enter the Deserted Village from Cataract Hollow Road, off of Glenside Avenue (use GPS address 1 Cataract Hollow Road, Berkeley Heights). Free parking is available at the entrance to the site. A hay wagon provides barrier-free access to key sites within the 130-acre historic district.
Visitors can pick up a free self-tour guidebook at the parking lot, or use their cell phones to take an audio tour. A list of activities will be available at the reception table.
The Deserted Village of Feltville is located in Union County’s Watchung Reservation. It was established in 1845 by entrepreneur David Felt, who built a printing mill, housing for his workers, and other buildings for communal use by Feltville’s 175 residents. As part of the weekend’s festivities, the “ghost” of David Felt will stroll the grounds of the Deserted Village and converse with visitors, telling tales of the factory town he built and recounting memories of the people who worked in his mill, on his farm, and in his store and school. At 12:30 pm each day, Mr. Felt will also offer a 30-minute long armchair tour from the porch of his general store, with an interactive opportunity for children.
Other activities for children will include old-fashioned games on the Deserted Village’s grass tennis court, writing with a quill pen and ink, and searching for artifacts at the site of David Felt’s house. A small apple orchard has been recreated along Cataract Hollow Road to recall the 600-acre farm established by Mr. Felt to provide food for the villagers. A hands-on demonstration of apples being pressed into cider by Boy Scout Troop 23 of Elizabeth will continue throughout the Four Centuries weekend.
Visitors of all ages can also bring their “Passport to Your National Parks” to the general store and get stamped, thanks to Union County’s inclusion in the Crossroads of the American Revolution National Heritage Area. While at the General Store, visitors are invited to view exhibits of artifacts, photographs and maps depicting the history of the Deserted Village across four centuries. A bas-relief wood carving, sculpted by Nicaraguan artist Roberto de la Selva in 1927, will be on display. Nostalgic candy, snacks, toys and games will be sold at the store. Families are also invited to pack a picnic and use one of the nearby picnic tables.
The beautifully restored circa-1882 Masker’s Barn carriage house will be open for the weekend. Visitors can tour the building and then linger outside to roast marshmallows around a campfire with the ghost of Annie Malloy, wife of an early caretaker.
Moving even farther back in time, visitors can take a short walk to a small family graveyard on a hillside just beyond the church and general store. John Willcocks, a New Jersey militia soldier who fought in the Revolutionary War along with General George Washington’s regular army, will greet visitors. He and Eagle Scout Michael Ondrey will explain how the discovery of a human tooth started a quest to find the unmarked graves of two dozen members of the Willcocks and Badgley families. Archival research and non-invasive archaeological investigation revealed the site of the missing cemetery, which has been cleared and marked.
The Deserted Village has seen many changes since its origin as David Felt’s business enterprise. Over the years it has been used as a farm for fancy cattle, a summer resort, relief housing during the Great Depression, and an outdoor education center. By the 1970’s, the Deserted Village was all but forgotten. Fortunately, restoration work has been ongoing since 1992. Felt’s general store building now serves as a visitor center. The resort-era carriage house known as Masker’s Barn is a rental venue that hosts 100 events each year. The Union County Board of County Commissioners has authorized five new projects, with $1.1 million allocated for new roofs, building restoration work, museum exhibits, and an eco-friendly parking area.
Special programming on the Four Centuries weekend will be provided by historian Priscilla Hayes. Each day at 1:00 p.m., visitors can “Meet the Historian” in Masker’s Barn. Ms. Hayes inherited her lifelong love of this area from her grandfather – historian and genealogist Edwin Baldwin of Summit – who took her and her siblings there as children. She has been using her skills as a freelance writer and retired attorney to author booklets describing how this one small village illuminates nearly all of New Jersey history. In 2022, she launched a website at www.feltvillefeatures.com, where each month she writes about some facet of Deserted Village history.
At 2:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday, Priscilla Hayes will present an illustrated program in Masker’s Barn about a king who wanted to expand his empire, a double-dealing duke, children of New England colonists who wanted to make their own fortune, and a group of natives bewildered by an offer to receive trade goods in return for a mark on a piece of paper. The “Elizabethtown Purchase,” which included the territory where the Deserted Village of Feltville sits, has all this intrigue and misunderstanding and more.
Ms. Hayes will lead an interactive presentation to dig into the ways land ownership was manipulated and transformed, including exploring the different worldviews which the European colonists and the native Munsee/Lenape brought to the bargaining table. After the presentation, she and David Felt will lead a guided tour through the Village.
For more information about the Deserted Village of Feltville, visit the Union County Department of Parks and Recreation online at ucnj.org/dv.
Four Centuries in a Weekend is funded in part by a grant from the New Jersey Historical Commission, part of the Division of Cultural Affairs in the Department of State, and is organized by the Union County Office of Cultural and Heritage Affairs, in collaboration with staff and volunteers at the sites and is sponsored by the Union County Board of County Commissioners.

We kindly ask residents to have their papers in the trunk of their car or the cargo bed of their trunk before arriving, to facilitate efficient removal of materials by staff. Residents must remain in their vehicles while staff handles the unloading and shredding of papers, which are shredded onsite in the mobile shredding trucks. Participants are reminded that pre-shredded, damp, or wet paper will not be accepted. Additionally, bindings, large plastic or metal clips, and other extraneous materials must be removed before arrival at the shredding site.
Union County’s free shredding events are intended for personal, sensitive, and residentially generated documents only. Residents can recycle magazines, junk mail, and other waste paper through their municipal recycling program. For contact information regarding your municipal recycling program, please visit https://ucnj.org/recycling/municipal-recycling-coordinators/. Residents are limited to ten pounds (four bags/ boxes) per vehicle. Business documents will not be accepted for shredding at the events. Businesses that show up at the event will be turned away. Businesses that need shredding services can instead contact the Union County Bureau of Recycling and Planning by phone at 908-654-9890 or via the online form at www.ucnj.org/recycle for further guidance.
