Inclement Winter Weather

Environmental Center & Recycling Schedule

Electronics Recycling Act:

Beginning in 2011, New Jersey’s new Electronics Recycling Act (“Act”) takes effect, which will impact how residents recycle and/or discard their used consumer electronics. According to the Act, starting in 2011 certain electronic items will be banned from being disposed of in the garbage and will be mandated to be recycled. The electronic items that are covered by the Act include televisions; portable, desktop or personal computers; and computer monitors. Manufacturers of these items are required to provide and pay for recycling programs for these covered electronics, beginning in 2011.

As manufacturers begin to rollout their programs to recycle these covered electronics in 2011, residents will be afforded additional opportunities to recycle them as the local collection infrastructure develops and matures. The Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority (MCMUA) has provided drop-off programs for these items in the past and anticipates continuing to run these programs like it has done in the past well into the future. The major difference is that the MCMUA will no longer need to charge residents for this service, as the costs of electronics recycling programs are to be born by the electronics manufacturers and not the residents recycling these items. Additionally, the MCMUA anticipates also accepting the remaining non-covered electronics as part of its program, in addition to those items covered by the Act. 

The MCMUA envisions 2011 as being a transitional year from the old programs paid for and run by the MCMUA and participating municipalities, to programs being paid for and run by electronics manufacturers. By the end of 2011 the MCMUA expects electronics recycling to be available on a much more frequent and convenient basis than was available in the past, but until those manufacturer programs are established, residents should continue to use municipal and MCMUA programs for the recycling or used consumer electronics. See the MCMUA Website at http://MCMUA.com for more information on the programs provided by the MCMUA and to follow the evolution of electronics recycling in Morris County.

Heavy item pick-up

There will be two (2) heavy item pick-ups in 2012; The week of May 7th and the week of September 10, 2012.    All residents must register the items to be picked up by calling Vera Crouthamel, Department of Public Works, 973-410-5330, no later than the Thursday preceding the scheduled collection. Items that will not be picked up include oil tanks, windows, sliding glass doors, mirrors, tires, propane tanks, construction or demolition debris, firewood, logs, stumps, quantities of fencing, railroad ties or items in plastic garbage bags.  No glass, plastic bags, or paint will be accepted and we request that you please separate wood from metal, making two piles.  Computers, Monitors, and Televisions are no longer accepted for heavy item pick-up (or weekened drop off at the Environmental Center)  Appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers or any other items that have a compressor known to contain Freon will not be picked up unless the DPW Office has been provided with written documentation indicating that the Freon has been legally removed.  Please check with www.njcleanenergy.com to see if a refrigerator/freezer recycling program is in effect.  All items must be curbside by 6:30 a.m. the Monday of the collection week.
