3 Page 3 RECYCLING COLLECTION The New Jersey Mandatory Recycling and Source Separation Act and the Recycling Plan requires municipalities to make provisions for the collection of residential recyclables including: bottles and cans, newsprint, cardboard and mixed paper. The curbside collection of recyclables varies significantly with many municipalities providing weekly collection and others providing bi-weekly collection. All the municipalities are required to make provisions to collect the mandatory recyclable material from residential areas. Many coastal communities have a summer and winter collection schedule to accommodate the increases in quantities generated by summer vacationers. A number of municipalities provide a drop-off center where residents can bring recyclables. Please review the table on pages 6 and 7 for details on drop-off centers. In addition, the municipalities are responsible for the collection of bulky items and appliances. Please contact your municipal recycling coordinator to obtain information on procedures and fees.

Patrick Donnelly (609) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What types of batteries are recyclable? Non-rechargeable batteries such as dry-cell batteries, AA, AAA, DD and 9V Volt are NOT accepted in s recycling program. Dry cell batteries are manufactured with less hazardous materials. Therefore, they are without recyclable value and can be thrown in the garbage. The Northern and Southern Recycling Centers accept button batteries used in watches and hearing aids and re-chargeable batteries used in power tools, cellular phones, laptop computers. Also check with your local Public Works yards to see if they are accepted.(see page 12 for additional recycling information) What should I do with left over cooking grease or oil?

4 Page RECYCLING REVENUE SHARING PROGRAM shares 50/50 with the municipalities from the sales of recyclables processed at the Materials Processing Facility at the Northern Recycling Center in Lakewood Township. The County returns revenues to each municipality that participates in the County s recycling program. Since the recycling revenue sharing program began in 1995 by the Board of Chosen Freeholders, almost $14 million has been returned to municipalities. The more your town recycles the greater the economic benefit will be. The total savings for 2012 to the towns for voiding tipping fees at the landfill was more than $5.4 million!!! The money can be used to fund existing recycling programs such as improvements to existing recycling drop-off centers, purchase roll off containers or other projects deemed appropriate by the town. Towns received revenue checks that totaled anywhere from $1,118 for Mantoloking and to $199,745 for Toms River for their recycling efforts.
