New Jersey law requires residents, businesses, and institutions to source-separate designated recyclables from trash. Every municipality must adopt a recycling ordinance, and Camden County sets designated materials through its district recycling plan.
Under the New Jersey Statewide Mandatory Source Separation and Recycling Act (N.J.S.A. 13:1E-99.11 et seq.), recycling is not optional. Each county adopts a district recycling plan designating the recyclable materials that must be separated in every municipality (at least leaves plus three other materials), and each municipality must adopt an ordinance requiring residents to source-separate them. Camden County was the first county in New Jersey to mandate recycling, in 1985; the state followed in 1987. Typical curbside recyclables include newspaper, mixed paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, aluminum and steel cans, and #1 and #2 plastic bottles. Mixing recyclables into the trash is against the law in New Jersey.
Enforced by municipal ordinance; residents and businesses face fines for failing to separate designated recyclables from solid waste.
