1 Recycling Schedule Calendar

2 Recycling is the law in the State of New Jersey, and as Mayor, maintaining our resident s property taxes is at the top of my list. Yet in order to achieve this goal, starting with recycling will make the difference. We all need to make a concerted effort to reduce our waste costs and recycling is the most effective course of action. Let s save on energy costs and reduce waste. By us all working together, our family and our Township will benefit. Take pride in our planet and the first step to take.recycle. Mayor, Michael Melham Recycling is at times challenging but it makes a difference. Recycling helps our town financially along with helping the environment. Let's work together and recycle. Let's continue to keep Belleville one of the top 100 towns to live in. Let's continue to improve quality of life. Dr. John J. Notari, Deputy Mayor Recycle Recycle, it's not hard to do you can reduce the pollution and help the world too! Marie Strumolo Burke, 1st Ward Councilwoman I would first like to thank all the residents that have helped increase Belleville s recycling tonnage over the last 14 years. When we started on this mission, less than 10% of our residents were recycling. It was costing us thousands of dollars in additional tipping fees to dump our garbage. Through your cooperation the Township Recycling Program has saved our community hundreds of thousands of dollars. Although we as a Township cannot see it first hand, we have also saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in energy costs. This translates to a positive impact on our environment and a reduction in our nation s overall carbon foot print. For those new residents that have just joined our community, I ask that you follow your neighbor s lead and recycle. Recycling helps the community and helps insure a better future for our children. Steven J. Rovell, 2nd Ward Councilman Thank you to everyone who helped in our recycling effort. Our tonnage is up since last year; however, our job is not over yet. In March 2011, we started the Green Initiative Committee to explore new and innovative ways of recycling techniques, less wasteful technology and sustainable living. Basic recycling is still one of the most efficient and easiest ways to reduce waste and save on energy costs. Recycling benefits our children, our town and our planet. Vincent A. Cozzarelli, 3rd Ward Councilman Thank you all for participating in our efforts in recycling. Through our efforts, we will help. Reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators. Increases economic security by tapping a domestic source of materials. Prevents pollution by reducing the need to collect new raw materials.saves energy. Thomas Graziano, Councilman at Large Native American Proverb - We don't inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children." We have the responsibility to leave the Earth better than we found it for the sake of our children and coming generations. Recycling is just a small step in taking care of our planet. Let s all do our part! Naomy De Peña, Councilwoman at Large

22 Pollution on streets, parking lots and lawns is washed by rain into storm drains, then directly to our drinking water supplies and the ocean and lakes our children play in. Fertilizer, oil, pesticides, detergents, pet waste, grass clippings: You name it and it ends up in our water. Stormwater pollution is one of New Jersey s greatest threats to clean and plentiful water, and that s why we re all doing something about it. By sharing the responsibility and making small, easy changes in our daily lives, we can keep common pollutants out of stormwater. It all adds up to cleaner water, and it saves the high cost of cleaning up once it s dirty. As part of New Jersey s initiative to keep our water clean and plentiful and to meet federal requirements, many municipalities and other public agencies including colleges and military bases must adopt ordinances or other rules prohibiting various activities that contribute to stormwater pollution. Breaking these rules can result in fines or other penalties. P Do a soil test to see if you need a fertilizer. Do not apply fertilizers if heavy rain is predicted. Look into alternatives for pesticides. Maintain a small lawn and keep the rest of your property or yard in a natural state with trees and other native vegetation that requires little or no fertilizer. If you use fertilizers and pesticides, follow the instructions on the label on how to correctly apply it. Make sure you properly store or discard any unused portions. Hazardous products include some household or commercial cleaning products, lawn and garden care products, motor oil, antifreeze, and paints. Do not pour any hazardous products down a storm drain because storm drains are usually connected to local waterbodies and the water is not treated. If you have hazardous products in your home or workplace, make sure you store or dispose of them properly. Read the label for guidance. Use natural or less toxic alternatives when possible. Recycle used motor oil. Contact your municipality, county or facility management office for the locations of hazardous-waste disposal facilities. Municipalities and many other public agencies are required to mark certain storm drain inlets with messages reminding people that storm drains are connected to local waterbodies. Many municipalities and public agencies must enact and enforce local pet-waste rules. An example is requiring pet owners or their keepers to pick up and properly dispose of pet waste dropped on public or other people s property. Make sure you know your town s or agency s requirements and comply with them. It s the law. And remember to: Use newspaper, bags or pooper-scoopers to pick up wastes. Dispose of the wrapped pet waste in the trash or unwrapped in a toilet. Never discard pet waste in a storm drain. Do not feed wildlife, such as ducks and geese, in public areas. Many municipalities and other public agencies must enact and enforce a rule that prohibits wildlife feeding in these areas. Place litter in trash receptacles. Recycle. Recycle. Recycle. Participate in community cleanups. Keep leaves and grass out of storm drains. If your municipality or agency has yard waste collection rules, follow them. Use leaves and grass clippings as a resource for compost. Use a mulching mower that recycles grass clippings into the lawn. For more information on stormwater related topics, visit or Additional information is also available at U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Web sites or New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Division of Water Quality Bureau of Nonpoint Pollution Control Municipal Stormwater Regulation Program (609) Do not let sewage or other wastes flow into a stormwater system.
