Executive Summary

This document outlines the guidelines for the Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority's (MCMUA) "all-in-one," single-stream recycling collection program. It details acceptable recyclable materials such as aluminum and steel cans, foil, glass jars and bottles, cardboard, and various papers, emphasizing that these can all be mixed together in one container. The guidelines also specify materials that are explicitly not accepted, including certain plastic codes (LDPE, PS, OTHER), plastic bags, Styrofoam, electronics, hazardous waste, and various non-recyclable items. Key requirements for preparation include ensuring all items are empty, dry, and free of food residue, and that materials are loose in containers, not bagged.

RECYCLE
RESPONSIBLY
Prepare material properly
Use a lid to prevent the wind from blowing recyclable material out and rain from
getting into your container(s).
If your recyclable material does not fit into one container, use more than one so that
loose material is not sticking out.
Flatten corrugated cardboard boxes and stack them into reusable containers or into
another cardboard box. Do not leave loose boxes on the ground.
All recyclable materials must be empty and free of food residue.
Use properly sized containers
The weight limit for a single container is 50 pounds when full.
It is recommended that containers be no larger than 32 gallons each to avoid exceeding
the weight limit.
Retail stores now sell recycling carts with wheels that are too big. They will exceed the
50 pound weight limit when full. Do NOT use these large 64 and 95 gallon carts.
Containers must have handles.
Only recycle what is acceptable
Be careful to follow the recycling guidelines as advertised by your town and on the
MCMUA's website at www.MCMUA.com. Guidelines provide specific details about the
materials that are and are not acceptable. Unacceptable materials increase the cost of
operation and lower the value of recyclables.
Your cooperation with these guidelines is greatly appreciated. If you have questions,
please call your town's recycling coordinator or the MCMUA at 973-285-8393.
