Recycling Plans Excite MU A

SWAINTON — Officials of the Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority are expressing confidence the MU A will meet its county-wide recycling goals by 1983 with (he aid of its anticipated share of New Jersey’s $50 million Natural Resources bond issue. \ . Last week, the M0A applied for $195,000 under the state’s 1980 Natural Resources Bond Act to build a recycling center at Ihe former Menhaden plant on- Rio Grande Blvd.. and an Intermediate Processing Facility (IPF) at the site of the proposed county-wide sanitary landfill in Woodbine. The authority's matching share in th«k endeavor will be $390,000 for the 1981-83 X

period.

"WE ARE EXCITED by the prospect of receiving these stale funds to help further our planned recycling program for Cape May County^ MUA Chairman John Vinci said last Wednesday. "As the designated ‘It’s Still A Problem’

$100 Fine for Littering Beach Urged

by Paul Artherton WILDWOOD — A local businessman has hit out at the condition of the beach here and demanded heavy fines for those who leave* litter behind. "The conditions that exist on the beach ♦ are just appalling," motel owner Joseph ' Erceg of Ocean Ave. told City Commission last Tuesday. Erceg said many of his guests had indicated that they won’t be back in Wildwood unless the beach is cleaned up. "IF PEOPLE LITTER the beach, impose a $100 fine on the spot," said an angry 1 Erceg. He added that when the tide comes in there is nothing but dirt along the water's edge. Commissioner Richard Nordaby, who is responsible fw beach clean-up, responded that keeping the beach clean was a "massive problem” but that this year he had received fewer complaints than last year. "But it’s still a problem,” he conceded! Suggestions had been made to place more trash baskets on the beach, he said, but people don’t want to lie next to these » baskets. Nordaby said additional manpower was not available. ERCEG COUNTERED that more manpower wasn’t the answer and repeated his demands for a $100 fine. The current fine

for littering is $50. “The beach is' important to this city's

tourism and something has to he done im-

mediately," Erceg said
