Ocean County trash and recycling collected municipally. Bins must be stored out of street view between pickups and curb-placed night before/morning of collection. Toms River and shore towns enforce under property maintenance chapters.
Ocean County operates a dual-stream and single-stream recycling program through the Ocean County Recycling Department and the Northern (Lakewood) and Southern (Manahawkin) Recycling Centers. Trash collection is municipal (not county) — most towns contract with private haulers or run in-house crews. Toms River Ch. 368 (Nuisances, amended 4-24-2018) and similar ordinances in Brick, Lakewood, Jackson, Berkeley, Stafford, and the shore boroughs require trash and recycling containers to be stored between pickups in a garage, behind a fence, or on the side of the house screened from street view. Cans may be placed at curb the evening before or morning of collection and must be retrieved by the end of the collection day. Lids closed; bins not overflowing. Summer barrier-island rentals have compressed rules — often containers only out during rental turnover windows to control rodent and gull attraction. Seaside Heights, Point Pleasant Beach, LBI towns enforce strictly. Commercial dumpsters need full screening per zoning. HOA communities often have stricter rules and shared-dumpster facilities.
First offense: warning. Continued violations: municipal summons, fines $25 to $250 per occurrence under local penalty schedules. Persistent violations can escalate to housing court and municipal property-maintenance action. Summer shore-town enforcement sweeps common.
