Recycling Information and Resources
- As per NJ state law and Chapter 614 of the code of the Township of Nutley, recycling is MANDATORY for all residents and businesses.

Composting
Composting is nature’s way of recycling organic materials back into the soil in order for the cycle of life to continue.
Compost bins may be purchased at a reduced rate to Nutley residents. Please contact the Department of Public Works at 973-284-4958 for additional information
Grasscycling
Grasscycling is the natural recycling of grass by leaving clippings on the lawn when mowing. Grass clippings decompose quickly, returning valuable nutrients back into the soil.
Grass clippings are a major part of New Jersey’s mu¬nicipal solid waste stream. As a Nutley resident, you are already helping to avoid air pollution and wasted resources by recycling. You can do more by reduc¬ing waste at the source. Leave the grass clippings on your lawn when you mow, and let nature do the recycling.
