MONMOUTH COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Dominick “Nick” DiRocco, Deputy Director
Susan M. Kiley

Erik Anderson
Municipalities in Monmouth County generate tons of garbage each year. Most of it is transported to the
reclamation center in Tinton Falls, where it will stay forever. Special steps are taken to make sure that odor, pests
and generated gases are controlled and that fl uid run-off does not pollute our groundwater.
Currently, only about 63% of the recyclable items in Monmouth County is recycled. Recyclable items do NOT
go to the landfi ll, which saves money and protects the environment. Recycled items can also be made into
new products.
If you live in Monmouth County, the following items must be recycled (they are banned from the landfi ll).
SEE CHART (PP. 6-9) FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON WHERE TO RECYCLE.

OTHER items you can recycle
OTHER items you can recycle
Residents Only: Drop off up to 8
Tires, max. 18” without rims at the
Monmouth County Reclamation
Center, Tinton Falls, see p. 15.
Many of the following hazardous items are also banned from the
Monmouth County landfi ll. Because they can be dangerous,
they may require disposal at a special facility.
See chart (page 7) for where to dispose of hazardous items.
Ammunition, Fireworks, Gunpowder,
Boat Flares (Shotgun type)
Call your local Police Dept.
Appliances with Freon
(Refrigerators, Air Conditioners, Humidifi ers)
Check Municipal Drop-Off Locations on pp. 10-13 to see if
your town accepts OR call a Private Scrap Metal Facility
p. 16. If you are purchasing a new freon containing appliance, make
sure the company hauls away your old model when delivering the new
one. Visit: http://www. NJCleanEnergy.com for refrigerator
disposal. Rebates are off ered.
Asbestos (Shingles, Siding)
Follow proper handling and transport procedures.
Breaking/crushing asbestos releases dangerous
fi bers into the air. Kept intact, it is less harmful.
Call the Monmouth County Reclamation Center
732-683-8686 Ext. 5601 for handling instructions, and to
schedule a drop off appointment.
Hazardous Chemicals
Many types are accepted at the Monmouth County
Household Hazardous Waste facility (HHW), see p. 7.
Medical waste (sharps, non-regulated)
Home medical waste generated through home self-
care is not Regulated Medical Waste. Home health care
persons who use needles and syringes must render
them inoperable and must place them in a rigid plastic
container. Alternately, the resident has the option of
putting the rigid container in the regular trash for pick
up by a solid waste hauler. The container also must be of
sound quality and clearly labeled, and should not pose
any threat to solid waste personnel who may handle it.
Additionally, any blood stained medical waste generated
by a home health care individual must be double bagged
in regular trash bags and sealed. Please tape the top
of container. You may also wish to contact: STERICYCLE
866-783-7422
Oxygen/Helium/BBQ Propane Tanks
Linde Gas 1240 Rt. 33 Farmingdale
732-938-7165
Seaboard Fire & Safety Equipment
2112 Kings Hwy., Ocean Twp.
732-493-8100
The tanks should be in fair/good condition (no holes -otherwise
they become scrap metal). Any markings on container must be
legible. They will accept with or without gas. They will
accept with or without valve
Propane Tanks
Many types accepted (valve attached) at the Monmouth
County Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) facility, p. 14 ; OR,
call a Private Scrap Metal Facility, p. 16.
Smoke Detectors
HHW accepts only Kiddie. All others must contact
the manufacturer to fi nd out how to dispose.
KIDDE (Can go in trash - remove batteries) - www.kidde.com
FIRST ALERT - Contact www.fi rstalert.com for models
Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Can go in trash after removing battery
LIGHTBULBS - LEDs
Most households are now using LEDs. The
electrical current passes through a microchip,
which lights up tiny LEDs. LEDs do not contain
hazardous chemicals, so it is safe to throw them
away in the trash can.
LIGHTBULBS - CFLs
CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Lamps/Lights)
that contain a small amount of mercury in
the curlicue tube. Fluorescent tube bulbs
(overhead lighting) also contain mercury. If
you’ve ever dropped one you will recognize
the ‘pop’ and puff of vapor that results. That
puff of vapor contains mercury, which is a toxin
and environmental contaminant. Because
most of the mercury can be recovered if the
bulb is intact, recycling is the responsible
way to dispose of burned-out CFLs (and tube
fl uorescent bulbs). Bring them to the return
counter at your local Lowes or Home Depot.
Fluorescent bulbs from residents can be
disposed at the Monmouth County Household
Hazardous Waste facility (HHW), see p. 8.
If You Break a CFL Bulb
1. Open a window and leave the room for at least 15
minutes so vapors can disperse.
2. Wear disposable latex gloves, carefully scoop up
fragments and powder with stiff paper or cardboard.
Then wipe the area clean with a damp paper towel or
disposable wet wipe. Use
sticky tape to pick up
small pieces and powder.
(Do NOT use a vacuum
cleaner for the initial
cleanup; that will disperse
any remaining mercury
vapor in the air and leave particles in the bag.)
3. Place all cleanup materials and gloves in a plastic bag
and seal it in two plastic bags and put it in the outside
trash. Wash your hands.
4. The fi rst time you vacuum the area where the bulb
was broken, remove the vacuum bag when you’re done
cleaning (or empty and wipe the canister). Put the bag
and/or vacuum debris, as well as the cleaning materials,
in two sealed plastic bags and put in the outdoor trash for
normal disposal.

STEP 1: Choose the Right Materials
Choose the Right Materials
*No aggressive weeds or weeds gone to seed
Do NOT Compost: Meat/Poultry/Fish • Fats/
Oils • Bones • Dairy Products • Plastics or Synthetic
Fibers • Pet Waste (meat eating pets) IN GENERAL,
NO ANIMAL PRODUCTS OR DAIRY
STEP 2:Select & Prepare a Site -
Select & Prepare a Site -
Choose a place in your yard that is convenient
(sunny or shady will do) and fashion some type of
area or enclosure for your pile
• Purchase a ready-made bin from a home center
or garden supplier.
STEP 3:Add Your Compost Materials
Add Your Compost Materials
• Layer dry (leaves), and moist (grass, kitchen scraps)
in a 1:1 ratio.
• Add enough water to keep the compost heap
moist, but not soggy.
• Provide adequate ventilation. To increase air
circulation, turn the compost with a pitchfork at
least once a month (helpful but not absolutely
necessary). You can also push rods or poles through
the heap and then remove them, leaving channels
through which air can pass, or insert hollow,
perforated poles.
• As the compost materials decompose, they create
heat. This is natural, and when the pile is turned,
you will be able to feel the heat.
• If your compost pile is properly prepared, contains
no animal fats and is turned regularly, it will not
attract pests or create odors.
STEP 4: Check Whether the
Check Whether the
Compost is Ready
Compost is Ready
• Decomposition will occur in as little as 6 weeks,
depending on the materials in the pile, the size
of the pile and how often it is turned. A “lazy”
composter will still get compost—it will just take
longer (10-18 months). The compost is ready for
use when it is dark brown, and when the materials
have broken down into small or fi ne particles.
STEP 5:Use the Compost
Use the Compost
• Sift through the compost and set aside the
decomposed materials, returning the rest to the
pile. Apply the decomposed matter to your garden
in a layer about 1 to 3 inches thick. As you apply
the compost, turn and mix it with the soil. It is best
to apply no more than one pound of compost per
square foot of soil.
Composting is a process that occurs when you separate out your kitchen vegetables and yard
waste at home, and place it into a special pile so that it that breaks down into a natural, soil-
like product that can be used as fertilizer.
