MUNICIPAL RECYCLING COORDINATORS
RECYCLING COLLECTIONThe New Jersey Mandatory Recycling and Source Separation Act and the Ocean County Recycling Plan require
municipalities to make provisions for the collection of residential recyclables including: bottles and cans, newsprint, card-board and mixed paper.
Curbside collection of recyclables varies significantly in Ocean County with many municipalities providing weeklycollection and others providing bi-weekly collection. All municipalities are required to make provisions to collect themandatory recyclable material from residential areas. Many coastal communities have a summer and winter collectionschedule to accommodate increases in quantities generated by summer vacationers. A number of municipalities also pro-vides a drop-off center where residents can bring recyclables. Please review the table on pages 6 and 7 for details ondrop-off centers. Municipalities are also responsible for the collection of bulky items and appliances. Please contact yourmunicipal recycling coordinator to obtain information on procedures and fees.

SINGLE STREAM RECYCLING PROGRAMAcceptable/Unacceptable Materials
In 2010, Ocean County began a single stream recycling program (placing all con-tainers, paper, cardboard, etc. in the same bin) in the hopes it would become eas-ier for residents to recycle, which in turn would increase recycling participation.Recycling participation HAS increased. However, we have seen an increase in un-acceptable materials and garbage coming into our processing facilities. Worst
among these materials is plastic bags. Please DO NOT PUT FILLED OR LOOSEPLASTIC BAGS IN YOUR RECYCLING BINS. Plastic bags wreak havoc on sort-ing machinery and require hours of downtime for their removal. Bags can entanglethemselves in equipment, reducing sorting efficiency and causing materials to mixwith one another. It’s important to remember all plastics are not created equallyand not all plastics can be recycled by our facilities, including and especially plas-tic garbage and grocery bags. Many supermarkets and “big box stores” (Walmart,Target, Lowe’s, Home Depot et al.) have programs for grocery bag recycling;check for recycling bins near the main entrance or ask customer service.For a list of businesses in your area with plastic bag recycling programs, visit
www.plasticfilmrecycling.org and enter your area code in the search bar (Note: Stop& Shop supermarkets do not appear in the listings, however all Stop & Shop loca-tions participate in plastic bag recycling). ACCEPTABLE MATERIALS FOR CURBSIDE COLLECTION BINS:Plastic containers (neck smaller than base), cans (aluminum, steel & tin, emptyaerosol), corrugated cardboard (shipping boxes, flattened/clean pizza boxes),mixed paper (magazines, mail, office papers, paper bags, wrapping paper, cards),newspaper. IF IT ISN’T LISTED AS ACCEPTABLE HERE IT DOES NOT
BELONG IN YOUR RECYCLING BIN.UNACCEPTABLE MATERIALS FOR CURBSIDE COLLECTION BINS:Phone books (collected separately at recycling centers), Dairy tubs (yogurt, but-ter, sour cream, etc.), anything Styrofoam, motor oil, plastic cups (solo cups) andutensils, chip/gray board boxes i.e. cereal/tissue/cookie/gift, Mixed Rigid Plas-tics (collected separately at recycling centers, see page 3), shredded paper (col-lected separately at recycling centers), wood of any kind, propane tanks, garden
hoses, bowling balls, bikes, bats, brake rotors, blinds, VHS tapes, etc. (yes wehave received all of these).
PLEASE DO NOT TIE OR BUNDLE TOGETHER PAPER. PLEASE REMOVEALL BOTTLE CAPS, JAR LIDS, ETC. FROM BOTTLES AND CONTAINERS AND DISPOSE OFTHEM IN YOUR REGULAR TRASH.

The Ocean County Master Composter Program, which began in 2000, is sponsored by the Ocean County Boardof Chosen Freeholders and the Ocean County Dept. of Solid Waste Management. The premise of this programis to train a core of individuals to help educate Ocean County residents on how to manage the organic portionof their solid waste. Training classes, which are offered annually and free to Ocean County residents, are heldin the spring or fall and are subject to demand. Although a gardening background would be helpful, it is not arequirement. Once training is completed, volunteers then agree to provide a total of 24 hours of outreach, ed-
ucation, and service to promote the benefits of home composting. Ocean County residents can learn the basics of backyard home composting in “How to” CompostWorkshops that are held in the spring or fall each year. These workshops are offered free to Ocean County residents andtaxpayers and are taught by the Ocean County Master Composters. Registration is required. Classes limited to 25 people.

The 7,200 mile separation didn’t change the common goal between the staff thatimplements Ocean County’s recycling efforts and that of the China Resource Re-cycling Association. A group of about 20 association members visited the OceanCounty Northern Recycling Center off New Hampshire Avenue, Lakewood, onJune 21. It was the first leg of their U.S. market research. “We are very proud ofthe work that is done here especially because it helps our environment,” said OceanCounty Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to Ocean County’s awardwinning recycling program. “We deeply appreciate your interest in visiting ourcenter and we are very happy we share this common interest.”
