New Jersey's recycling law requires that businesses and apartments must recycle in accordance with local recycling ordinance regulations. Summonses may be issued to anyone who fails to comply with the Township of Ocean Revised General Ordinance, Chapter X recycling regulations.
Apartment residents, check with the management office at your complex to find out where drop-off areas are located and when collection service is offered. Call 732-531-5001 if recycling services are NOT provided. Additional information can be found in the Monmouth County Recycling Directory.
