Proper management of solid waste is an important matter of public
health and safety. The source separation and recovery of certain recyclable
materials will serve the public interest by conserving energy and
natural resources, and reducing waste disposal expenses. In accordance
with the requirements of the New Jersey Mandatory Source Separation
and Recycling Act (N.J.S.A. 13:1E-99.11 et seq.) and the 2009 Update
to the Monmouth County Solid Waste Management Plan, it is therefore
necessary to update and amend existing municipal rules and regulations
for the separation, storage, collection and recovery of designated
recyclable materials.
[Ord. No. 10-10]
In accordance with existing State regulations (N.J.A.C. 14A:3-11),

lawn mowers or motorcycles and shall post a sign informing the public
that they are a designated "Used Oil Collection Site."
