A "Catch the
Fever" Mercury Thermometer Collection Program
The MCMUA offers three major programs to help Morris County
residents, businesses and municipalities safely manage their household hazardous hazardous
(HHW), hazardous, special and universal wastes. These programs include:
- Permanent HHW Facility
Located at the MCMUA's Mt. Olive transfer station in western Morris County. This facility
is open throughout the year by appointment only.
- HHW Disposal Days:
Periodic disposal events conducted during a few weekends in the spring and fall at sites
in eastern Morris County. These disposal days are open to Morris County residents
only. Commercial generators must use the permanent HHW facility or universal waste
recycling program.
- Universal Waste
Recycling at the Dover Recycling Consolidation Center
The universal waste recycling program enables the commercial,
institutional and regulated hazardous waste generating community to recycling common, or
universal wastes which have hazardous characteristics. By recycling them with the
MCMUA the generator doesn't have to manifest and transport them as hazardous waste with a
licensed hazardous waste disposal firm. This adds conveniences and can reduce costs.
Materials accepted include:
- Fluorescent Light Bulbs
