New Jersey Statutes Title 40. Municipalities and Counties 40 § 66-1.4

a. Pursuant to section 2 of P.L.2001, c. 25 (C.40: 66-1.3) and section 4 of P.L.2001, c. 25 (C.40:66-1.5), when a municipal governing body determines not to provide solid waste collection services to a multifamily dwelling, it shall enter into a written agreement with the multifamily dwelling to annually reimburse the multifamily dwelling in an amount not to exceed the cost that would be incurred by the municipality in providing those services.

b. The amount to be reimbursed to the multifamily dwelling shall be used by the multifamily dwelling to pay for the solid waste collection service that the municipality chooses not to provide. The municipal governing body shall reimburse the multifamily dwelling for the actual cost to the multifamily dwelling of providing that service, but not more than the amount that the municipality would have expended on the solid waste collection services if provided by the municipality directly to the multifamily dwelling, calculated as if the dwelling units were located along public roads and streets and the collection service provided curbside.

c. An agreement entered into pursuant to this section shall provide for an accounting by the multifamily dwelling of the use of the money paid over to it by the municipality, and for the refunding to the municipality of any payments in excess of the amounts actually expended or contractually committed by the multifamily dwelling during the accounting period in order to provide for the solid waste collection services covered by the agreement.
