Mandated
Source Separation Recycling
- Mandatory
Source Separation Recycling - Explanation of why source
separation recycling is the primary means of recycling in
accordance with the Morris County Solid Waste Management Plan.
- List
of Materials Mandated to be Source Separated and Recycled in Morris
County 2007 (PDF
or Word File). Please download, print, pay attention
to and distribute this document to anyone that lives or works in
Morris County. Recycling of these materials is the law in Morris
County.
- Exemptions From
Source Separation Recycling Requirements
- By law a procedure to assess requests by commercial entities for
exemptions from the Plan's requirements to source separate
designated materials must be available and this document is the
Plan's recommended procedure. Only municipalities can grant
such exemptions. This would only be an exemption from source
separation and not an exemption from recycling. Let us repeat
that previous statement for emphasis. The granting of an
exemption would only be an exemption from source separation and not
and exemption from recycling. The commercial generator that is
issued such an exemption would then need to find a recycling
facility that would separate the recyclables from the disposables
and recycle the designated materials. Since no known such
facility in New Jersey adequately operates like this, exemptions
should not be granted by a municipality without total confidence
that the materials will be recycled. To date and in Morris
County, there are no known exemptions that have been granted.
