Requires certain recycling centers to report information about recycling markets and contamination to DEP.

This bill requires recycling centers processing glass, plastic, cardboard, or paper to annually report specific data to New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) by December 31. Centers must disclose details about recycling markets (including availability, location, and cost of markets for materials) and contamination levels in the recycling stream. The DEP must keep confidential any information that would reveal trade secrets or competitive business methods, as claimed by the recycling centers. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
