A 3001 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires DEP to develop, and solid waste management districts to use, standardized labels for recycling bins.

This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to create standardized labels for recycling bins, clearly showing which materials (like paper, plastic, or glass) each bin accepts. Solid waste management districts must then use these labels across all public recycling bins in their areas. The goal is to reduce confusion among residents about proper recycling practices and improve recycling efficiency. The DEP must develop this labeling system within one year of the bill's effective date.
