A 5192 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes recycling program for unused road sign posts.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Transportation to create a recycling program for road sign posts that have been unused for at least 12 months. The program mandates identifying and inventorying unused posts, setting up municipal collection points, coordinating with recyclers, and tracking how many posts are diverted from landfills. It also requires the department to use recycled materials to make new signs and report annually on program results, including recycled volumes and benefits. The bill directly affects the Department of Transportation and local municipalities managing road infrastructure. It takes effect immediately upon enactment.
