Zone 2, which covers from Second Avenue to Bellefonte Avenue and follows the railroad tracks, is collected every other Tuesday, and zone 3, which covers from Second Avenue to the city line at Flemington and from Bellefonte Avenue out to Susquehanna Avenue and includes Sunset Pines, is collected every other Wednesday.  Please contact the Wayne Township Landfill recycling center about the disposal of electronics and brush, wood and yard waste throughout the year.
