The following items will not be collected: leaves, grass clippings, vines, bamboo or tall landscape grasses.

INFORMATION FROM Sussex County Municipal Utility Authority (SCMUA)

Styrofoam: SCMUA has successfully instituted a Styrofoam recycling program. Sussex County residents can bring Styrofoam to SCMUA for recycling. At this time Styrofoam cannot be put with commingled recycling, if you don't want to make the trip to SCMUA, Styrofoam will continue to be put with household trash (even if there is a recycling triangle on it). Rechargeable Battery Recycling: Rechargeable batteries (Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, Li-ion, Ni-Zn, small sealed lead less than 11 lbs.) can be recycled at the SCMUA. Non-rechargeable Single Use Batteries: When primary cell/non-rechargeable (AA, AAA, C, D, 6V, 9V, 1.5V) batteries are discharged, it is appropriate to put them in trash or bring to SCMUA for disposal. **Please note batteries will no longer be accepted at the municipal building. Paper Shredding: Third Friday of every month at the SCMUA from 9AM to 12PM; $6 minimum, no limits, cash or checks only. Mixed Rigid Plastics (MRP): Storage containers, tubs, shelving, toys (houses, cars, trikes), buckets, crates, laundry baskets, and lawn furniture can be brought to the SCMUA. Material is weighed and SCMUA charges a disposal fee. Tires and Construction Debris: Must be brought to the SCMUA. It is not in the township contract with the hauler, so it will not be picked up at the curb. However, if you are replacing a broken sink or toilet, that can be put at the curb. Electronics: Not to be put curbside / Must be properly recycled. The SCMUA and all landfills have been notified by the state that landfill disposal of electronics is prohibited (NJ mandate effective: 1/1/2011) SCMUA periodically offers free e-cycle days. If electronics are brought to the landfill any other time, the weight of the item(s) will determine the cost. NJ DEP has an "E-cycling" website: state.nj.us/dep/dshw/recycling/Electronic Waste/index.htm
