South Orange, NJ will begin providing single stream recycling collection to residents on July 11, 2012. Single stream recycling allows all recyclable items to be mixed together in one container for collection every other Wednesday. The village recycling center will still accept separated recyclables. Residents must use totter containers purchased from the village to participate. The changes aim to make recycling easier by eliminating sorting for residents.
