A 2560 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DEP to develop, and solid waste management districts to use, standardized labels for recycling bins.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to develop standardized labels for recycling bins within one year of the bill becoming law. Solid waste management districts must then update their recycling plans within two years to mandate these labels on all new recycling bins distributed in their areas. The labels will clearly identify which recyclable materials each bin is intended for (e.g., paper, plastic, glass), aiming to reduce contamination in recycling streams. This directly affects the DEP (responsible for creating the labeling system) and all 30+ solid waste management districts across New Jersey (responsible for implementing the labels).
