Built Around Hackensack Chapter 93 Recycling Requirements
Hackensack is not a “set it and forget it” waste market. Under the City’s solid waste and recycling rules, multifamily dwellings of four or more units are required to participate in the recycling program, register with the City, and submit recycling tonnage reporting. Recyclable materials must also be separated from ordinary refuse.
For property managers, that means recycling access, resident instructions, capacity planning, and contamination prevention matter—especially in high-density apartments, elevator-served buildings, mixed-use communities, and properties using shared dumpsters or compactors.
