The Somerset County Department of Health is the lead
agency in Somerset County for enforcement of the New Jersey Solid Waste
Management Act. CEHA inspectors ensure that the collection, transportation
and disposal of solid waste in Somerset County is conducted in an
environmentally safe manner. In doing so, compliance with both NJDEP
regulations and the County’s Solid Waste Management Plan are evaluated. The
CEHA staff conducts routine inspections of facilities that collect solid waste
and monitor the safety and integrity of the transportation vehicles used to
move materials.
Commercial facilities are also inspected for compliance
with recycling regulations. Recycling is mandatory in the State of New
Jersey and recent initiatives by the NJDEP have sought to increase compliance
throughout the State.
Effective Monday, July 7, 2008, the Somerset County
Health Department will conduct A-901 exempt hauler interviews. Interested
companies should call (908) 231-7155 and request an appointment.
