Which Zone Are You In?
Glen Ridge splits collection into three zones running roughly south-to-north across the borough, each with its own garbage and recycling days. The borough's own page defines them only in words, by street name — this page paints that description onto an actual map, so you can find your own street at a glance instead of reading through zone boundaries block by block.
By zone

How this was put together: Zone boundaries (South/Center/North) are derived from Glen Ridge's own official description at https://www.glenridgenj.org/garbage/, which defines them by street name, not by an official GIS boundary. Lincoln Street + Clark Street's own real path (fit as one straight line) is the South/Center boundary; Baldwin Street's own path is the Center/North boundary. Every other street is classified, and split where it crosses a boundary, by which side of these two lines it falls on. This is a geometric approximation of a boundary the borough only describes in words -- a property within a few dozen feet of a zone line should confirm its actual zone with the borough directly, not trust this map down to the foot. Collection day/schedule text is quoted verbatim from the borough's own page.
This is a one-time snapshot, not a live feature — it won't update automatically if the borough changes its zones or schedule. See the borough's own garbage & recycling page for the authoritative, current schedule, and to report a missed pickup.
