paper for recycling.'' The codnty’s program is

under the direction of Ted O’Nfeill, the MUA's Solid waste Manager. Diahe DeMeo serves as the County Recycling Coordinator and has been primarily responsible for Helping local communities establish their recycling

program.

ACCORDING TO O'Neill over 90 tons of recyclables — newsprint, glass, aluminum and office paper. — have been collected by the municipalities and delivered to the center. "One shipment of glass has been sold to date,” O'Neill said. "The newsprint market is not

strong at the present time. .

Therefore, we are storing it here, waiting for the right time to sell. By Spring we hope to be marketing 40 to 50 tons of recyclables per

month."

TJJE RECYCLING center is managed by Ann Jennings and the work force is provided by the Jersey • Cape v Diagnostic Training and

responsible for the office waste paper recycling effort and it is quite successful,” O'Neill stated. O'Neill explained the purpose of recycling is to recover valuable resources to be used agaiq. "Another extremely impdPtant reason is to reduce the amount of landfill space used to dispose of our solid waste. Environmentally and economically it’s the sensible thfhg to do,”

O’Neill said.

The MU A recently applied for a state grant to study the feasibility of bulding a resource recovery facility to generate electric power and Steam from solid waste. Earlier this year the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection recommended the county MUA for a $195,000 grant to build a permanent recycling facility in

Woodbine.

' "Between recycling and recovering energy resources from our solid waste, we have the opportunity to preserve our environment , and strengthen our local economy. Without them, we will continue to pay higher prices for refuse disposal without environmental or economic gain,” O’Neill concluded. £wim Race Sun.
