Dear Citizen,

It is with great pleasure that I join with my colleagues on the Board of Freeholders in presenting toyou the annual Ocean County Recycling Directory.

Recycling has been an integral part of Ocean County’s programs and services for many years. And,this year, we celebrate 25 years of the New Jersey Source Separation and Recycling Act.

We want to make certain that recycling in Ocean County is convenient to you the residents and thatit also is cost effective. Inside this guide you will find a wealth of information that will make yourrecycling efforts easy and convenient. With your help, Ocean County has become a true leader inrecycling. The program allows us to protect the environment and reduce the cost of disposing solidwaste through a host of recycling programs.

I hope this guide provides you with all the information you need so that recycling programs in OceanCounty remain viable to both the economy and the environment.

Thank you for your efforts. It makes a difference everyday.

MUNICIPAL RECYCLING COORDINATORS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS1. What types of batteries are recyclable? Non-chargeable batteries such as dry-cell batteries, AA, AAA, DD, and 9 Volt are NOT accepted in the County’s recycling program due to DOT regulations. Dry cell batteries can sort circuit andcatch fire while being transported. Also they fall below Federal and State hazardous waste standards and can be thrown inthe garbage. The county’s Northern and Southern recycling centers accept button batteries and re-chargeable batteries inaddition to automotive batteries. Dry cell batteries no longer contain enough recyclable materials to be marketed. (See page6 and 12 for additional information.)

2. What do I do with propane tanks? If your local recycling center does not accept them (check pages 6&7) contact a local propane distributor for proper disposal or exchange. Propane tanks are not accepted at the County’s two Recy-cling Centers. Ask your local HomeDepot, Lowes and propane distributor about their trade-in policy. Scrap dealers may also ac-cept them. (See page 8)

3. What do I do with an old refrigerator or air conditioner? You will need to contact an appliance dealer to removethe Freon from the appliances who will then provide a receipt to your municipality for pick up of the appliance. Munici-palities and private haulers will not collect appliances containing FREON unless this receipt is presented. Also, New Jer-sey Clean Energy Program is offering a $50.00 rebate to recycle your old fridge or freezer. Call 877-270-3520 or visitNJCleanEnergy.com to schedule a pick up.

RECYCLING COLLECTIONThe New Jersey Mandatory Recycling and Source Separation Act and the Ocean County 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 col-lection and others providing bi-weekly collection. All the municipalities are required to make provisions to collectthe mandatory recyclable material from residential areas. Many coastal communities have a summer and win-ter collection schedule to accommodate the increases in quantities generated by summer vacationers. A num-ber of municipalities provide a drop-off center where residents can bring recyclables. Please review the table onpages 6 and 7 for details on drop-off centers. In addition, the municipalities are responsible for the collection ofbulky items and appliances. Please contact your municipal recycling coordinator to obtain information on pro-cedures and fees.

2012 Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Program

Guidelines for Proper Disposal of Household MedicationDO NOT flush unwanted medications or pour down sinks or drains. Traces of certain medications have been found in local waterways, such as Barnegat Bay. They harm fish and wildlife. Also, improper disposal in your trash allows others to divert the substanceand consume medication not prescribed to them:

• Keep medicine in original container. Mark out personal information on prescription bottles.• Mix liquid medicine with coffee grinds, cat litter or dirt. Dilute pills with water and then add coffee grinds, cat litter or dirt.• Place bottles in an opaque container, like yogurt container, and secure lid, or wrap in a dark colored plastic bag.• Hide the container in the trash. DO NOT RECYCLE.For more information contact the NJ Dept. of Environmental Protection Solid & Hazardous Waste Program at 609-633-1418 or go to www.state.nj.us/dep/dshw/rttp/disposal.pdf

Rid your medicine cabinet of unused & expired medication.
