Single-stream recycling to begin June 6 in Wall

Residents of the township will now be able to put all their recyclables — newspapers, office paper, junk mail, magazines, flat corrugated cardboard, cereal boxes, glass bottles and jars, metal containers, metal beverage containers, plastic water and soda bottles, plastic milk bottles and shampoo and detergent bottles — in one bin as the town will launch single-stream recycling beginning June 6.

Single-stream recycling is a system that takes the two recycling "streams" — newspaper and commingled containers — and puts them in one bin.

"They will be traded as a commodity," Councilman George Newberry said about residents' recyclables.

Along with Newbury, Mayor Ann Marie Conte and the township's Environmental Advisory Committee were on hand Thursday night to present a seminar on single-stream recycling to residents at the Wall Municipal Building.Save on hydraulic hose and fittings,

Newberry was the catalyst behind bringing single-stream recycling to the town and he emphasized during his presentation that there is value in the recycled items when they are in bulk. Newberry said this will also help alleviate pressure on landfills and the town will receive part of the profit on the sale of the items.

By participating in single-stream recycling we stand to make a profit on our waste because there are companies willing to pay for it," Newberry said.

Newberry couldn't offer a fixed number on how much the town will earn switching to single-stream recycling because prices will fluctuate with the market and it depends on how much residents recycle. He did say that instead of paying the $75 at Tinton Falls they could stand to turn a profit of $25 per ton on the waste.Largest Collection of billabong boardshorts,

The town will continue to pick up recyclables curbside, except now the town will bring them to be processed at the Lakewood Waste Management facility, where machines that use magnets and scanners will separate and condense the items into bails that can be sold on the market.This page list rubber hose products with details & specifications.

Wilma Morissey the chair of the town's Environmental Advisory Committee said the "EAC is 100 percent behind single-stream recycling."

"A lot of work and research went into single-stream recycling and I'm proud to bring that to Wall. I think it's going to help the environment," Conte said.
