With so much interest in "going green" we decided to "recycle" this handy list from Green Team's Betsy Wilson, originally published Jan. 10, 2012. Most Holmdel residents have been very good about recycling. Cardboard, mixed paper, bottles and cans are being put out curbside or taken to the bins at Public Works. Holmdel got $30,000 for our recyclables in one year. It is mandatory to recycle the above items. (If a summons is issued, a court appearance is required, with a possible fine of $200. Ouch!) You’d be surprised to learn how much of the other stuff you don’t want anymore can be put to good use or recycled.

Thanks to diligent recycling, Scott Goldstein has no need for trash pickup. He tells how he does it at the Citizens for Informed Land Use meeting tonight.

The money will go to help fund activities that promote recycling.
The Christie Administration has announced the award of nearly $16 million in Clean Communities grants to help municipalities and counties fund litter cleanup efforts that help beautify New Jersey’s communities and roadsides.

Thank you for the info. The only problem I have with putting good clothing in bins is that I heard they are recycled and used for rags. Lunch Break is a very good worthy organization in Red Bank who assists our local folks with daily meals, lunch bags, and clothing for free.
