Requires State entities to recycle certain materials and provide recycling bins in State buildings.
This bill requires all New Jersey state-owned, leased, or operated buildings - including state agencies, universities, and facilities - to implement recycling programs for specific materials like aluminum, cardboard, glass, paper, and plastic. State entities must provide recycling bins, signage, and educational resources for both employees and the public, establish collection procedures, and arrange for contracted recycling services. The law excludes state parks or forests using a "carry-in, carry-out" trash program where visitors take waste with them. The Department of Treasury and Environmental Protection will create compliance guidance and ensure state courts and legislative buildings follow the requirements.
