Our team of environmental attorneys include recognized leaders within the waste and recycling industry. We represent waste and recycling facilities, transporters, brokers, and related companies in connection with navigating the complex legal requirements applicable to this highly regulated industry. For instance, our attorneys have experience with development and operation of waste and recycling facilities, compliance with complex permitting and licensing regimes (such as New Jersey’s “A-901” and “Dirty Dirt” licensing), business transactions and M&A, commercial matters and contracting (including New York City’s Commercial Waste Zones), and environmental justice requirements. We also have specific subject matter expertise relating to recycling of organic recycling and food waste, including through composting, anaerobic digestion and other innovative processes. Our attorneys routinely counsel clients in connection with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), New Jersey Solid Waste Management Act, New Jersey’s “Recycling Rules” (N.J.A.C. 7:26A), New Jersey’s Solid Waste Utility Regulations (N.J.A.C. 7:26H), New Jersey’s Environmental Justice Law and A0 2021-25, and other similar statutes, regulations and policies. We also assist businesses and individuals in responding to notices of violation from state or federal government agencies and in litigating claims involving waste and recycling.
