Ocean County operates the Ocean County Landfill in Manchester and coordinates recycling through the Ocean County Recycling Department. Trash pickup varies by municipality — Toms River, Brick, and Jackson use contracted private haulers (Republic Services, Waste Management). LBI boroughs run twice-weekly summer pickup with stepped-down winter schedules. Barnegat Bay shore towns must comply with stricter litter rules to prevent plastic entering the bay.
