It can all start in your backyard. A simple gesture such as picking up a gum wrapper that has been discarded by someone may not seem like much, but if everyone picked up a piece of litter each day, there would be no need for this booklet. The Utilities Authority has always prided itself on participating and cooperating with other departments, townships, communities, organizations and other counties to increase public awareness through environmental programs and projects. Please feel free to contact the Hunterdon County Utilities Authority with program requests, questions, comments, or ideas. Organize, plan and implement a recycling program.
Paper is the largest single item that consumes space in our landfills today.
Let's save our forest. Household batteries are one of the biggest contributors of mercury, cadmium and other heavy metal pollution. Battery recycling is not perfected as yet and not cost effective. Therefore, batteries must be placed in a special landfill that will prevent any of these harmful agents from escaping into our environment. The Hunterdon County Utilities Authority will be happy to assist in creating new and unique programs for your school, organization, and the earth.
