Section 7:26A-11.4 - Collection of source separated recyclables

(a) Each municipality shall provide for a collection system for the materials designated in the municipal ordinance. Each municipality shall provide for this collection in those instances where collection is not otherwise provided for by the generator, the county, inter-local service agreement or joint service program, or other private or public recycling program operator.

(b) A municipality may require that every solid waste transporter holding a certificate of public convenience and necessity and serving clients within the municipality bid on a contract for the collection or disposition of recyclable materials, if required to do so by the district recycling plan of the county in which the transporter engages in solid waste collection.

(c) The governing body of each municipality shall, at least once every 36 months, review and revise the master plan and development regulations it has adopted pursuant to P.L. 1975, c. 291 (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq.). The revisions shall reflect changes in Federal, State, county and municipal laws, policies and objectives concerning the collection, disposition and recycling of designated recyclable materials. The revised master plan shall include provisions for the collection, disposition and recycling of recyclable materials designated in the municipal recycling ordinance, within any development proposal for the construction of 50 or more units of single-family residential housing or 25 or more units of multi-family residential housing and any commercial or industrial development proposal for the use of 1,000 square feet or more of land.

(d) The governing body of a municipality may limit the collection of designated recyclable materials to specified operating hours in order to preserve peace and quiet in neighborhoods during the hours when most residents are asleep.
