Address:  6700 Delilah Road Egg Harbor Township, NJ

What you’ll see:

Recycling Center Learn how a Recycling Center operates and take an up-close look at material collected from Atlantic County.

Landfill: See where trash from Atlantic County goes.  Our landfill is one of the highest points in the county and requires special engineering and planning to function.  ACUA is able to transform landfill gas into electricity!  Visitors can see the Transfer Station in addition to the Landfill Gas to Energy buildings.

Large-Scale Vegetative Compost: Here, we process over 4,500 tons of yard waste each year.  This includes Christmas trees, grass clippings, leaves, and branches collected from Atlantic County.   

Geo Garden – Behind ACUA’s Geo Administrative building, the first building on the right, ACUA has a native plant garden with dozens of native plant species.  Visitors are welcome to explore and enjoy the native plant and rain garden.  Here you’ll also find a fenced-in community garden where gardeners grow vegetables and herbs throughout the growing season.

Playground and Poetry Trail - Kids of all ages will love our playground that is made from recycled materials!  Groups are welcome to eat lunch at picnic tables (which are also made from recycled materials).  Explore the nearby nature trails and learn about poetry and native flora along the way. Discuss the day’s activities in an amphitheater constructed from recycled plastic materials and nestled along the nature trail.

Be sure to request a visit from Supercan, ACUA’s recycling mascot for younger visitors!
