Getting Started with New Jersey Recycling Approval Permitting

Most operations in the United States subject to environmental regulations should focus on regulations coming from the Federal government, their respective state environmental agency, and any local agencies (regional, county, or city). However, additional concerns outside of the realm of environmental regulations, such as Environmental Justice issues, can impact facilities in areas where no other regulations might apply. Also bear in mind that regulators at any level, from the Federal government to your local community, can, within reason, visit your facility or ask for a demonstration of compliance, especially when it comes to obtaining new permits, renewals, facility construction, modification, expansion, etc.

Getting into compliance is like buying a car - how much you'll spend depends on what you need. For locations with few regulatory concerns, environmental compliance can be a cheap and easy thing. For large, complex operations, environmental compliance could cost a small fortune. There's different ways of looking at it too, from regulatory fees paid to government agencies, to the costs of hiring consultants or other outside help, to facility modifications, ongoing compliance tasks, and more.

Just like the price, the timeframe all depends. Some compliance concerns can be identified, the proper paperwork filled out in a few hours, and once you mail that documentation out, you're "in compliance" with environmental regulations. Other regulatory concerns take months to years to apply for, revise, and ultimately get permits and approvals. Again, smaller, simpler operations tend to be able to get into compliance very quickly, while larger, more complex facilities will take much, much longer.

By taking care of this environmental "stuff" so you can focus on your business! Here at RMA we are experts in environmental regulatory and sustainability concerns, so we come full of knowledge and know-how, ready to assess your situation, provide guidance, and take steps to get you into compliance. We are self-sufficient, business-friendly, environmental experts who can handle your environmental concerns with ease, professionalism, and an eye on results, regardless of where you're located.

When it comes to recycling in New Jersey, no one knows the process better than us. Ever since we opened our doors in 1992, our clients have come to trust and depend on our consulting services, specifically when it comes to the recycling facility permitting approval process here in our home state of New Jersey. From compost to computers, asphalt to plastic, metal, wood, used oil, you name it, we know when, where and what your chances are of opening up a recycling facility in New Jersey are.

How we help recycling facilities get permitted in New Jersey.

Determining eligibility. The location of your recycling facility in New Jersey can make or break the whole process. We'll help you determine whether you're even eligible for a New Jersey recycling approval right off the bat, saving you time and money from the start.

We handle the details. We've prepared hundreds of recycling permit applications for a variety of facilities, and have been to countless committee meetings across New Jersey for local, county, and state agencies. You tell us what you're looking to do at your operation, and we'll handle the rest.

The right class of material, and the right recycling permit. This is the biggest thing when it comes to New Jersey recycling approvals. Depending on the material, the site, and much more, we'll obtain the right type of recycling permit for your operation. These include:

  • Class A Recyclable Materials - Think traditional recyclables, such as cardboard and glass bottles. New Jersey Class A recycling permits cover what people typically refer to as post-consumer materials.
  • Class B Recyclable Materials - Materials like concrete, asphalt, wood, trees, tires, and other similar materials are covered under a New Jersey Class B recycling permit.
  • Class C Recyclable Materials - If you're looking to compost in New Jersey, a Class C recycling permit is what you need. It covers leaves, grass, and similar materials, and you'll have to adhere to some pretty rigorous regulations.
  • Class D Recyclable Materials -  This is a mixed bag of "universal wastes", things like oil, certain metals, consumer electronics, and other waste streams are taken in at specific facilities covered under the New Jersey Class D recycling permits.

Associated work. Your New Jersey recycling facility is going to be covered under a variety of additional state and Federal considerations, including NJPDES stormwater permits, air quality permits, SPCC regulations, possibly Community Right-to-Know Reporting, TRI Reporting, RPPR Reporting, etc., etc. Not only are we experts at getting these recycling facilities' permits approved, we can also help take care of every environmental regulation you'll need to get into compliance with (which is part of the permit application process).

New Jersey recycling exemptions. We'll determine if your facility can be covered under a New Jersey recycling exemption. They're easier to get, simpler to 'use', and much cheaper. If you can get covered under an exemption, it makes recycling in NJ much easier.
