New Jersey became a national leader in recycling in 1987 with the passage of the first mandatory recycling law. Since that time, recycling has become a way of life in New Jersey with recycling programs in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors. Recycling keeps millions of tons of materials out of landfills and other disposal facilities, conserves natural resources, saves energy and reduces emissions of water and air pollutants, including greenhouse gas emissions, which lead to climate change.
