New Jersey Agricultural Recycling Programs: The New Jersey Department of Agriculture has a strong commitment to ensuring compliance with New Jersey’s mandatory recycling regulations. The Department has developed and/or facilitated several economic development programs to assist Garden State farmers to recycle the plastic generated on their farm operations and reduce their solid waste disposal fees. Please contact Department of Agriculture @ (609) 292-5536 or by e-mail @ Karen.kritz@ag.state.nj.us.

Plastic Nursery Pots, Plug Tray, and Flats: A new opportunity exists that will enable farmers to recycle nursery pots, plastic flats, trays and Cell packs. The cost of disposing of HDPE #2 nursery pots weighing 20,000 pounds can be up to $ 580 at a landfill. Plastic recyclers are looking for these materials and offering to pay for the scrap.

Each type of plastic is to be segregated on separate pallets. Most of the plastic has a code stamped on it (#6 keynotes polystyrene, #5 polypropylene, and #2 HDPE). All plastics, with the same code, regardless of size, style or color, can be placed on the same pallet. If the type of plastic cannot be identified, misc. items can be placed on a separate pallet with a notation stating – plastic needs to be sorted. Sorted plastics by types will receive a better price.

Some plastics recyclers will generally pick up half or full trailer loads of materials. For shipments of only a few pallets, the plastic recyclers will generally try to combine the pickup with another farmer in the area as a way to fill up the trailer.

In the end, the farmer will save landfill tipping fees which can run upwards of $100 per ton in NJ, they can generate $20-$100 per ton revenues by recycling and they will do their part to help NJ increase it recycling.
