Jersey the “Regional Dumping Ground” for NYC & Philly – over 600 Open Dumps;
Chapter 326 Amendments to Solid Waste Management Act passed in 1975 – Effective 1977;
567 Municipalities Totally Preempted;
Solid Waste “Regionalized” at County Level;
State Plan & County Master Plans Written Late 70’s;
Implementation Phase in 1980’s;
11 Landfills, 5 Mass Burn Incinerators, 16 Transfer Stations Built (over 50 Facilities “Sited” by Counties);
Jersey “Invents” Flow Control as an Inferred Police Power with Statewide Regulations back in 1982.

New Jersey Recycling History
NJ Becomes The First State with Mandatory Recycling in 1987 – AFTER Disposal Infrastructure Built;
Initial Law Set a “Floor” of Recycling “3 Materials, plus Leaves;”
Entire Program Centered Initially on Recycling Glass Containers, Aluminum Cans and Newspaper;
Everyone Required to Recycle: Residential, Commercial, Institutional and Industrial Sectors;
Program Required Fundamental Shifts in Households Down to the “Kitchen Level;”

Current Status of Recycling
Recycling Mandatory for Past 26 Years;
Key Documents 21 County Master Plans;
State Goal in 1993 to Recycle 50% of the Municipal Waste Stream and 60% of the Total Waste Stream;
Average Number of Mandated Materials = 16;
Extensive SW & Recycling Data Program in Place;
22 Million Tons of Solid Waste Generated Each Year;
13.3 Million Tons is Recycled Total = 60.5% Rate;
Current Municipal Recycling Rate = 40%;
Curbside Recycling Very Effective!

Challenges in New Jersey
No Regulatory Distinction Between TS and a Dirty MRF!
Years of “Grind & Hide” Have Hurt Industry Rep.
Total Lack of Enforcement Against Sham Operations;
Dwindling State/County Inspectors & Robotic Approach;
Weakening Support from Attorney Generals’ Office;
Zero In-State Markets for C&D Derived Fuel;
County Planning Dysfunctional in Most Counties;
Conflicting Priorities: Recycling v. Feed The Beast!

Criteria to Differentiate True MRF’s From TS and Sham Operations Have Been Floated to State;
Support from State BPU – Office of Clean Energy;
Biomass Workgroup and State Agency Council.
