The container shall be no more than fifty (50) gallons in volume. The lid may not be attached in such a manner, such as tied with a rope, string or cord, as to cause a hazard for municipal collection personnel.

Recycling materials shall be place at curbside during your regularly-scheduled recycling pick-up date. All materials resulting from demolition and construction must be disposed of at the property owner’s expense. The Borough will continue to accept clean beach sand.

Ocean
County Recycling Guide
Dear
Ocean County resident, Ocean County takes great pride in protecting
its environment and we commend you, our citizens, for continuing to
do your part in taking care of our natural surroundings. In this
guide you will see we have made some changes in our recycling
programs including extending the time period of household hazardous
waste collections and residential paper shredding. I am hopeful
these changes will make the programs more convenient for you and
will encourage additional participation. This guide is a useful tool
that can answer many of your solid waste disposal and recycling
questions. As we approach the summer months, I want to remind you
and all of our visitors that recycling happens year round and there
is no vacation from recycling. Again, I want to thank you for
respecting the environment by participating in the many programs we
provide so that items are disposed of safely and properly and the
environment remains protected.
