A Tribute to John Haas
ohn Haas, a long time Seaside Park resident spent 35 years serving Ocean County, first as the Superintendent of Recreation,
and in later years moving to the Ocean County Planning Department and Department of Solid Waste Management, where he
continued as an environmental steward, in particular, advancing
Ocean County’s ongoing recycling efforts.
As Ocean County’s Recycling Coordinator, John worked tirelessly in implementing Ocean County’s innovative recycling programs, working side by side with the county’s municipalities and the
Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders making certain recycling
was convenient and cost effective.
Under John’s leadership, Ocean County’s recycling program has been
recognized not only locally but nationally by prominent agencies and organizations. It was
with John Haas’ direction, that Ocean County successfully implemented such beneficial
recycling programs like recycling minigrants for municipalities and school districts, paper
shredding programs, and paint management programs. His efforts helped municipalities
save millions of dollars by avoiding landfill-tipping fees.
John retired from Ocean County government in September 2010. John Haas died in
November 2013. While he left us far too soon, John’s mark on Ocean County’s environment will not be forgotten. His legacy benefits us all as his work helped improve the quality of life in Ocean County, helped preserve and protect Barnegat Bay and he did it with
unwavering commitment to the residents of Ocean County.

Dear Citizen,
t is with great pleasure that I join
with my colleagues on the Ocean
County Board of Chosen Freeholders in presenting to you the annual
Ocean County Recycling Directory.
Recycling has been an integral
part of Ocean County’s programs and
services for many years. And, this
year, we celebrate and remember our
special friend, John Haas, who oversaw the County’s award winning recycling programs for many years. We lost
a true steward of the environment in
November 2013, when John passed
away.
As a Board, we want to make certain that recycling in Ocean County is
convenient to you the residents and
that it also is cost effective. Inside this
guide you will find a wealth of information that will make your recycling
efforts easy and convenient. With your
help, Ocean County will continue to be
a true leader in recycling. The program, under the leadership of Freeholder James F. Lacey allows us to
protect the environment and reduce the
cost of disposing solid waste through a
host of programs – from single stream
to household hazardous waste collections.
I hope this guide provides you
with all the information you need so
that recycling programs in Ocean
County remain viable to both the economy and the environment.
Thank you for your efforts. It
makes a difference everyday.
Joseph H. Vicari, Freeholder Director

RECYCLING COLLECTION
The New Jersey Mandatory Recycling and Source Separation Act and the Ocean County Recycling Plan
requires municipalities to make provisions for the collection of residential recyclables including:
bottles and cans, newsprint, cardboard and mixed paper.
The curbside collection of recyclables varies significantly with many municipalities providing weekly collection and others providing bi-weekly collection. All the municipalities are required to make provisions to collect
the mandatory recyclable material from residential areas. Many coastal communities have a summer and winter collection schedule to accommodate the increases in quantities generated by summer vacationers. A number of municipalities provide a drop-off center where residents can bring recyclables. Please review the table on
pages 6 and 7 for details on drop-off centers. In addition, the municipalities are responsible for the collection of
bulky items and appliances. Please contact your municipal recycling coordinator to obtain information on procedures and fees.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What should I do with left over cooking grease or oil? Residents only can bring up to 5 gallons per day to the County’s
Northern and Southern Recycling Centers. Cooking grease and oil should not be tossed down the drain as it solidifies and
builds up in local sewage and septic systems. Acceptable oils include cooking pan grease left over from bacon, roasts, etc. and
cooking oil from turkey and deep fryers. Motor oil is not accepted as part of this program. Additional receptacles are available
at both centers for automotive waste. Please check table on page 6 & 7 to see if your local public works yard accepts either of
these oils. For commercial disposal of cooking grease/oil see page 9.
Where do I drop off mercury thermostats? To find locations in your area that accept mercury containing thermostats contact Thermostat Recycling Corporation www.thermostat-recycle.org 866-266-0550 They can also be brought to the Ocean
County's Household Hazardous Waste Program. Check Pg 9 for event dates and locations. Not accepted at the county's Northern and Southern Recycling Centers.
Where do I bring boat flares? Check with your local Coast Guard Station or fire department. These are not accepted at the
county's Northern and Southern Reycling Centers or the county's household hazardous waste program. You may keep the expired flares on your boat as long as there are current ones on board.

MUNICIPAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
2013 Recycling Revenue Sharing Program:
Ocean County shares 50/50 with the municipalities from the sales of recyclables processed at the Materials Processing Facility at the Ocean County Northern Recycling Center in Lakewood Township. The County returns revenues to each municipality that participates in the County’s recycling program. Since the recycling revenue sharing
program began in 1995 by the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, almost $15 million has been returned
to municipalities. The more your town recycles the greater the economic benefit will be. The total savings for 2013 to
the towns for voiding tipping fees at the landfill was more than $5.5 million!!! The money can be used to fund existing recycling programs such as improvements to existing recycling drop-off centers, purchase roll off containers or
other projects deemed appropriate by the town. Towns received revenue checks that totaled anywhere from $444.00
for Mantoloking and to $135,230 for Toms River for their recycling efforts. Ocean County Returned almost $740,000
to its municipalities for 2013 in recycling revenue sharing. The average payout for municipalities for 2013 was $9.49
per ton. Ocean County municipalities recycled over 78,002 tons in 2013 in this program.
2014 Ocean County Municipal Recycling Grant Program: To provide further continual support to
the municipalities of Ocean County with their recycling programs, educational materials, recycling containers for
schools and public facilities the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the Dept. of Solid Waste Management awarded the following municipalities a total of $137,411.00 from the 2014 Recycling Grant Program: Beach
Haven $11,418; Berkeley Twp. $7,213; Brick Twp. $22,000; Lacey Twp. $7,752; Little Egg Harbor Twp. $15,875; Long
Beach Twp. $21,106; Ocean Gate $37,680; Seaside Park $4,767; Ship Bottom $7,000; Tuckerton $2,600. The recycling grant program is funded from the Recycling Enhancement Act Tax and the Ocean County Recycling Revenue
Sharing Program.

Guidelines for Proper Disposal of Household Medication
DO NOT flush unwanted medications or pour down sinks or drains. Traces of certain medications have been found in local waterways, such as Barnegat Bay.
They harm fish and wildlife. Also, improper disposal in your trash allows others to divert the substance and consume medication not prescribed to them:
• Keep medicine in original container. Mark out personal information on prescription bottles.
• Mix liquid medicine with coffee grinds, cat litter or dirt. Dilute pills with water and then add coffee grinds, cat litter or dirt.
• Place bottles in an opaque container, like yogurt container, and secure lid, or wrap in a dark colored plastic bag.
• Hide the container in the trash. DO NOT RECYCLE.
For more information contact the NJ Dept. of Environmental Protection Solid & Hazardous Waste Program at
609-633-1418 or go to www.state.nj.us/dep/dshw/rttp/disposal.pdf

OCEAN COUNTY MASTER COMPOSTER PROGRAM
The Ocean County Master Composter Program which began in 2000 is sponsored by the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the Ocean County Dept of Solid Waste Management. The premise of this program is to train a core of individuals to help educate Ocean County residents on how to manage the organic portion of their solid waste. Training classes, which are offered annually
and free to Ocean County residents are held in the spring or fall and are subject to demand. Although a gardening background would
be helpful, it is not a requirement. Once training is completed, volunteers then agree to provide a total of 24 hours of outreach, education and service to promote the benefits of home composting.
Ocean County residents can learn the basics of backyard home composting in “How to” Compost Workshops that are held
in the spring or fall each year. These workshops are offered free to Ocean County residents and taxpayers and are taught
by the Ocean County Master Composters. Registration is required. Classes limited to 25 people.
For further information please contact Mary Jerkowicz, Program Monitor, at 732-506-5047.
COMPOST, MULCH & WOOD CHIPS - Are available to Ocean County resident and municipalities free of
charge from the County's two recycling centers. Contact the recycling centers to check availability of these materials and where to pick up.
