Set-out times are municipal, not countywide. In ACUA-collected towns like Brigantine, materials must reach the curb by 7:00 a.m. on your collection day, in an ACUA bin or a labeled cardboard box — never in plastic bags.
Because collection runs through the ACUA and individual towns, so does the rule on when and how containers go out. The ACUA's standard is a 7:00 a.m. curb deadline on your scheduled day, with recyclables loose in the ACUA-issued bin or a cardboard box marked with a recycling sticker — plastic bags are rejected. Brigantine splits the island into two collection sectors with their own days. Atlantic City sets its own sanitation set-out hours. No countywide ordinance fixes a single set-out time, so the controlling rule is your municipality's or the ACUA schedule for it.
Setting containers out early or leaving them curbside past collection day draws a municipal ordinance warning and, on repeat, a local fine. Recyclables bagged in plastic are left uncollected.
