Manage your Wastes & Recyclables Properly!!!

If you are unsure how to manage certain items you are looking to dispose or recycle, please contact your local solid waste or recycling coordinator to ask.  A listing of all municipal and county recycling coordinators is available on the Department’s website at www.nj.gov/dep/dshw/recycling/recycoor.htm.       

Information regarding county recycling programs, a listing of county designated recyclable materials, and recycling statistics along with other helpful recycling links may be found at www.nj.gov/dep/dshw/recycling.

If you are interested in transporting your waste or recyclables directly to a permitted solid waste facility or recycling center, a listing of all permitted landfills, incinerators, transfer stations, and Class B, C & D recycling centers can be found on the Department’s Division of Solid & Hazardous Waste website at www.nj.gov/dep/dshw. Note, Class B materials include, but are not limited to, concrete, brick, block, asphalt, asphalt-based roofing scrap, tree parts, brush, leaves, tires and petroleum contaminated soil, Class C materials are compostable materials and include, but are not limited to, yard trimmings such as leaves and grass, Class D materials include oil, antifreeze, latex paints, lamps (light bulbs), oil-based finishes, batteries, mercury-containing equipment and consumer electronics.  It is recommended you contact any facility beforehand since types of waste/recyclables accepted, fees charged, and operating hours will vary.
