New Jersey's Mandatory Source Separation and Recycling Act (N.J.S.A. 13:1E-99.11 et seq.) is one of the nation's oldest mandatory recycling laws, dating to 1987. Bergen County residents and businesses must recycle designated materials: paper, cardboard, glass, aluminum/steel cans, plastics #1 and #2 (some towns accept #1-#7), and yard waste. The Bergen County Recycling Plan is administered by BCUA at the Little Ferry Materials Recovery Facility. Contamination — plastic bags, food waste, tanglers — may cause the entire bin to be skipped. Multi-family buildings above a certain unit count (typically 10+) must provide on-site recycling. Commercial generators have separate mandatory recycling requirements. Yard waste must be bagged in biodegradable paper bags or bundled — plastic bags prohibited.
Failure to recycle: warning, then $25-$100 fine. Contaminated bin: skipped. Commercial non-compliance: $250-$2,500 per N.J.S.A. 13:1E-99.16. Plastic bag in yard waste: rejected.
