Aligned With Fort Lee Chapter 356, Bergen County & New Jersey Recycling Expectations
```Fort Lee apartments operate inside New Jersey’s mandatory recycling framework. Fort Lee Code § 356-24 requires owners, lessees, and occupants of property in the Borough to separate designated recyclable materials from solid waste. For apartment buildings, the Borough also notes that trash, recycling, and bulk-item procedures may differ by property, which makes clear resident instructions and property-managed collection routines especially important.
Mandate Type: Mandatory Recycling / Mandatory Source Separation
Applicability Threshold: All owners, lessees, and occupants of property in Fort Lee; no separate 4+ or 5+ unit trigger is needed for the basic source-separation duty.
Apartment Operations Note: Apartment buildings may have property-specific procedures for trash, recycling, and bulk items, so management should provide clear resident instructions.
Common Materials: Mixed paper, glass containers, aluminum cans, ferrous scrap metal, white goods, leaves, and Type 1 and Type 2 plastic containers under Fort Lee recycling rules.
Contamination Watch: Recyclables should remain separate from trash and be kept clean, loose, and properly staged for the property’s collection system.
