New Jersey Received Push from Lawmaker to Boost Recycling Efforts
1 Min Read
Currently, less than half of the state’s municipal waste is recycled, and Bateman is pushing for residents and businesses to start recycling more commonly used items like toothbrushes, pens and pencils and single-brew coffee pods.
Bateman recently visited TerraCycle, a company that collected difficult-to-recycle waste, and has since been inspired to boost New Jersey’s recycling rates.
NewsWorks has more details on Bateman’s recycling goals:
