New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection announced the winners of its statewide recycling program. The awards were announced earlier this week during a lunch meeting.
The categories and winners are the following:
Institution/School, Rutgers State University; Municipal Program, the city of Clifton; County Coordinator, Roseann Brown, Somerset County; Outreach/Media, Ocean County Dept. of Solid Waste Management; and ShopRite Supermarkets; Recycling Industry, Total Recycling Services; Small Business, Somerset Patriots; Source Reduction, Trenton Materials Exchange; and Commissioner’s Award, Salem County Utilities Authority.
Additionally, next month the city of Clifton, N.J., will accept three awards from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for its recycling efforts and be named a Program Champion.
The city will also be recognized as one of the first municipalities in the nation to establish an electronics drop-off center. The city was cited as a model community in a recent EPA report. Clifton was one of 18 municipalities chosen nationally for the report, "Cutting the Waste Stream in Half."
