Trash and recycling collection in Monmouth County is handled by each municipality, not the county. Most towns contract with private haulers (Waste Management, Republic, National Waste) or use in-house public works. Weekly residential collection is standard, with shore towns increasing to twice-weekly during Memorial Day to Labor Day. Monmouth County Reclamation Center in Tinton Falls handles regional waste processing, and NJ mandates residential recycling under the NJ Statewide Mandatory Source Separation and Recycling Act (N.J.S.A. 13:1E-99.11).
Monmouth County does not operate municipal trash collection — this is handled by each of the county's 53 municipalities. Typical residential collection is once per week for trash and once per week or biweekly for recycling. Shore towns (Asbury Park, Long Branch, Belmar, Point Pleasant Beach, Sea Bright, Bradley Beach) typically increase to twice-weekly trash collection from Memorial Day through Labor Day to handle summer tourism volume. Bins must be placed curbside by 6 or 7 AM on collection day. Monmouth County Reclamation Center at 6000 Asbury Ave in Tinton Falls processes regional solid waste and offers household hazardous waste drop-off on select Saturdays. NJ requires all residents to source-separate recyclables under N.J.S.A. 13:1E-99.11. Holiday delays (Christmas, New Year, Thanksgiving, July 4 if midweek) shift pickup forward one day. Missed pickups should be reported to the municipal public works department, not the county.
Placing bins out too early or leaving them out too long: $25 to $100 municipal fine typical. Contaminated recycling skipped by hauler (no fine first offense). Illegal dumping at Monmouth County Reclamation Center: $500 to $2,500. Repeated improper set-out: escalating municipal citations.
