An internet based common household goods exchange program Free to Ocean County residents

Dear Citizen,

Recycling continues to play an important rolein our daily routines and Ocean County makesevery effort to provide convenient recycling pro-grams allowing each of us to have a role in thestewardship of our environment.

With that in mind, it is with great pleasurethat I join with my colleagues on the Board of Cho-sen Freeholders in presenting to you the annualOcean County Recycling Directory.

This guide helps you navigate Ocean County’smany recycling programs. Our two County oper-ated regional recycling centers and the many mu-nicipal centers provide you with an opportunity todrop off a host of items like old paints, plastic lawnfurniture, and tires. In addition, single stream re-cycling allows for bottles, cans, and newspapers tobe placed in one bin for curbside pickups.

The program, under the leadership of Free-holder Gerry P. Little, allows us to protect the en-vironment and reduce the cost of disposing solidwaste at the landfill. With your help, Ocean Countywill continue to be a true leader in recycling.

Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari

MUNICIPAL RECYCLING COORDINATORS

MUNICIPAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE2016 Recycling Revenue Sharing Program:Ocean County shares 50/50 with the municipalities from the sales of recyclables processed at the Materials Processing Facility atthe Ocean County Northern Recycling Center in Lakewood Township. The County returns revenues to each municipality that par-ticipates in the County’s recycling program. Since the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders began the recycling revenue shar-ing program in 1995 almost $17 million has been returned to municipalities. The more your town recycles the greater the economicbenefit will be. Total savings for 2016 to the towns for voiding tipping fees at the landfill was more than $5.8 million!!! Money re-ceived from the revenue share program can be used to fund existing recycling programs such as improvements to existing recy-cling drop-off centers, purchase roll off containers or other projects deemed appropriate by the town. Towns received revenue checksthat totaled anywhere from $790.00 for Mantoloking and to $121,000 for Toms River for their recycling efforts. For 2016 OceanCounty returned over $695,000 to its municipalities through recycling revenue sharing. The average payout for municipalities in2016 was $8.23 per ton, and Ocean County municipalities recycled almost 81,000 tons of material!

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-vide a drop-off center where residents can bring recyclables. Please review the table on pages 6 and 7 for details on drop-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 containers, paper,cardboard, etc. in the same bin) in the hopes it would become easier for residents to recycle,which in turn would increase recycling participation. Recycling participation HAS increased.

However, we have seen an increase in unacceptable materials and garbage coming into our pro-cessing facilities. Worst among these materials is plastic bags. Please DO NOT PUT FILLED

OR LOOSE PLASTIC BAGS IN YOUR RECYCLING BINS. Plastic bags wreak havoc on sort-ing machinery and require hours of downtime for their removal. Bags can entangle themselves in

equipment, reducing sorting efficiency and causing materials to mix with one another. It’s im-portant to remember all plastics are not created equally and not all plastics can be recycled byour facilities, including and especially plastic garbage and grocery bags. Many supermarketsand “big box stores” (Walmart, Target, Lowe’s, Home Depot et al.) have programs for grocerybag 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.plastic-

filmrecycling.org and enter your area code in the search bar (Note: Stop & Shop supermarketsdo not appear in the listings, however all Stop & Shop locations participate in plastic bag recycling).

ACCEPTABLE MATERIALS FOR CURBSIDE COLLECTION BINS:Plastic containers (neck smaller than base), cans (aluminum, steel & tin, empty aerosol), cor-rugated cardboard (shipping boxes, flattened/clean pizza boxes), mixed paper (magazines,mail, office papers, paper bags, wrapping paper, cards), newspaper, glass jars & bottles. IFIT ISN’T LISTED AS ACCEPTABLE HERE IT DOES NOT BELONG IN YOUR RE-CYCLING BIN.

UNACCEPTABLE MATERIALS FOR CURBSIDE COLLECTION BINS: Phonebooks (collected separately at recycling centers), Dairy tubs (yogurt, butter, sour cream, etc.),

anything Styrofoam, motor oil, plastic cups (solo cups) and utensils, chip/gray board boxes i.e.cereal/tissue/cookie/gift, Mixed Rigid Plastics (collected separately at recycling centers, seepage 3), shredded paper (collected separately at recycling centers), wood of any kind,propane tanks, garden hoses, bowling balls, bikes, bats, brake rotors, blinds, VHS tapes, etc.(yes we have received all of these).

PLEASE DO NOT TIE OR BUNDLE TOGETHER PAPER. PLEASE REMOVE ALL BOTTLE CAPS, JAR LIDS, ETC. FROM BOTTLES AND CONTAINERS AND DISPOSE OF THEM IN YOUR REGULAR TRASH.

Ocean County Waives Tire Recycling Fees To Combat Mosquitoes

Ocean County has temporarily waived tire recycling fees at its recycling centers, in an effort to reduce mosquito popula-tions by reducing breeding grounds. The county will partner with its Mosquito Extermination Commission and utilize

funding from the 2017 Center for Disease Control ELC Capacity Building Effortsfederal grant to waive the $2 tire recycling fee at both of its regional recycling cen-ters. This grant is distributed throughout the state by the NJDEP’s Office of Mos-quito Control Coordination, and the free tire recycling program in Ocean Countywill continue until all funds from the grant are depleted. The Ocean County Mos-quito Extermination Commission was awarded the grant to support activities inidentifying and controlling mosquitoes, with a particular emphasis on monitor-ing/controlling populations of exotic mosquitoes known to transmit Zika virus.This free program started on August 1st. Residents who have questions or concernsabout mosquitoes may contact the Ocean County Mosquito Extermination Com-mission by calling 609-698-8271 (M-F, 7 a.m. to 3:30 pm).
