Morris County's MCMUA plans the countywide solid-waste and recycling program, but curbside collection is arranged by each municipality and its hauler. Recycling is mandatory countywide under New Jersey law; your town sets the collection days and method.
The Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority (MCMUA) 'plans and implements the recycling programs of Morris County,' but actual curbside pickup is a municipal function. As the MCMUA explains, most recycling 'is performed by individuals with the help of their municipality, recycling collectors and recycling markets.' Your municipality sets the collection schedule, whether recycling is single-stream or dual-stream, and who the contracted hauler is. Recycling itself is mandatory across Morris County under the New Jersey Statewide Mandatory Source Separation and Recycling Act. For pickup days, accepted materials, and set-out rules, check your town's public works page or hauler; for countywide drop-off options, use the MCMUA.
Missed-collection and set-out disputes are handled by your municipal hauler and public works; recycling violations fall under municipal recycling ordinances.
