Ocean County's District Solid Waste Management Plan and Amendments
The Ocean County District Solid Waste Management Plan contains two major components. The first component entails a comprehensive recycling program designed to promote increased recycling efforts and the second factor is a landfill management plan, which is designed to handle material that is unable to be recycled. The goal of both of these elements is to achieve a constant increase in collection of recyclable material and reduce the flow of material from entering the landfill by establishing a strong emphasis on source separation.
Ocean County’s recycling strategy is multifaceted. The plan includes source separation, collection methods for recyclable materials, residential and commercial compliance, addresses new developments of multifamily residential units, commercial, institutional or industrial properties, prohibition of the collection of solid waste mixed with recyclable materials, enforcement, violations and penalties. These parameters are set in order to achieve maximum recyclable tonnages, which equates to revenue by saving on landfill tipping fees and extends the capacity of the designated landfill.
All material that is unable to be recycled is directed to the Ocean County Landfill Corporation (OCLC) facility, which is located on Route 70 in Manchester Township. Pursuant to the waste flow requirements of the Plan, non-recyclable material is mandated to be disposed of at the OCLC, unless it is destined for an authorized facility located outside of New Jersey. Any hauler who does not follow this requirement is subject to enforcement action.
