Green Vision Inc., a nonprofit that serves adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, has opened its new campus at 197 Route 94 in Lafayette Township and is now enrolling participants. The Lafayette site also takes free public electronics drop-offs Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 3 PM, with no appointment needed.
The campus brings Green Vision’s hands-on model to Sussex County: participants build skills by dismantling donated electronics, and the parts go to certified recyclers instead of a landfill. Here is what the new campus offers and how residents can use the free drop-off.
A New Campus in Lafayette
According to Green Vision’s locations page, the Lafayette campus opened in 2026 to serve more people across Sussex County and Northern New Jersey. The building has 23,000 square feet on 15 acres and runs the same program structure, certifications and recycling capabilities as the nonprofit’s first campus, which has operated since 2010.
The Lafayette campus page describes structured, staff-supported days for adults 21 and older. Electronics recycling is the setting, while the focus is on routine, communication, confidence, wellness, social connection and greater independence. Green Vision is an approved New Jersey Division of Developmental Disabilities provider, and the campus is listed as Behavioral Acuity Approved.
Families can tour the campus now, and Green Vision says no formal referral is needed to visit. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM, and the Lafayette line is (973) 998-7955, extension 2.
Free Electronics Drop-Off for Residents
The public drop-off program is free for accepted items and open to anyone. Look for the contact-free rolling bin near the front entrance during drop-off hours, Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 3 PM. Green Vision asks that nothing be left outside after hours or on weekends.
Accepted items include desktops, laptops, tablets, monitors and TVs, printers and copiers, cell phones and landlines, routers and servers, cameras, audio equipment, video game systems, small and large kitchen appliances, vacuums with the bag or canister emptied, power tools, cables and scrap wire. Items with Freon, such as refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners, carry a $40 fee per item. Paint, light bulbs, hazardous waste, sharps and radioactive materials are not accepted.
Your drop-off may count as a tax-deductible donation, so ask for a receipt. Green Vision does not offer residential pickups, but businesses, schools, hospitals and towns can schedule a paid pickup. The full list is on Green Vision’s What We Accept sheet.
Why It Matters
Everything dropped off is dismantled by hand by program participants, sorted by material and sent to certified downstream recyclers. Green Vision reports that 99 percent stays out of landfills. That makes cleaning out an old laptop drawer a small way to support local workforce training.
