The program is designed to support municipalities in their effort to educate citizens and abate littered areas.
The Township will kick off its program within the next couple of weeks. Mayor Barberio is asking residents to help identify areas within our Township that are in need of a cleanup.
Residents are asked to contact the Department of Public Works at (973) 263-7273 to report cleanup locations.
The Clean Communities Program was created in 1986 with funding from taxes levied on the sale of litter generating products. In 2002, the Clean Communities Fund was reauthorized. Twenty-one counties and five hundred fifty-nine municipalities are eligible to receive funding.
