Solid Waste Control Program
Pursuant to the County Environmental Health Act (CEHA), the Environmental Health Unit inspects solid waste disposal and recycling facilities. These include the following:
- Sanitary Landfills
- Transfer Stations
- Compost Facilities
- Convenience Centers
The Unit also investigates reports of improper solid waste storage, transportation and disposal received from the public and the NJDEP. These reports may include illegal dumping or burial of solid waste.
The Unit may also initiate enforcement actions that include issuance of penalties and signing court complaints.
