How to Dispose of Musical Greeting Cards:

  1. Remove the Musical Device: Carefully take out the electronic module, including the small button battery.
  2. Recycle the Paper: The remaining paper card can often be recycled with regular paper, as long as you've removed any foil, glitter, or plastic decorations.

  3. Dispose of Electronics: Take the electronic part and the battery to a local household hazardous waste (HHW) facility or e-waste collection event

Why it Matters:

  • Mercury Content: The tiny button batteries in these cards can contain mercury, a toxic heavy metal.
  • Environmental Hazard: When burned in landfills, mercury pollutes the atmosphere, harming humans and wildlife.
  • Fire Risk: Batteries, especially lithium ones, can also pose a fire risk in garbage and recycling trucks.

Storm Water Managment

What is stormwater?

The official definition of stormwater under the N.J.A.C. 7:14A rules is as follows:
'Stormwater' means water resulting from precipitation (including rain and snow) that runs off the land's surface, is transmitted to the subsurface, or is captured by separate storm sewers or other sewage or drainage facilities, or conveyed by snow removal equipment.
