“Whether it’s a rain garden, a composting program, or a municipal efficiency project, these initiatives do more than address local challenges—they help communities discover what’s possible when people work together to create lasting change.” Randy Solomon, Sustainable Jersey

DEP staff recently joined members of the Whippany-Passaic Rivers Remediation Task Force, including @MorrisCountyNJ mayors and local officials, at the East Hanover Office of Emergency Management to discuss flooding challenges affecting communities throughout the region.

The meeting provided an opportunity to hear directly from local leaders about on-the-ground conditions, discuss mitigation efforts and explore opportunities for collaboration as we work toward long-term flood resilience across New Jersey.

Thank you to Mayors Joseph Pannullo, Thomas “Ace” Gallagher, Mark Taylor, Jason Karr, Pulkit Desai, Thimothy Dougherty, Donna Guariglia, Carolyn Dempsey, Angie Devanney and Andrew Hipolit, Municipal Engineer with @Colliers Engineering and Design, for meeting!

🏆 A 30% boost in recycling—that's the power of commitment!

Garden Communities, a Scotch Plains-area real estate firm, earned last year's Business Award by completely revamping recycling at their apartment complexes. When they discovered inadequate infrastructure, they didn't just fix it—they partnered with Union County, collaborated with their hauler, and launched an education campaign for residents. The result? A 30% increase in recyclables collected in just one year! 📈

Is your business making this kind of impact?

The Business Award recognizes companies—large or small—that are: ✅ Creating innovative recycling programs ✅ Expanding sustainability initiatives ✅ Developing comprehensive sustainability plans ✅ Achieving real, measurable results

⏰ Don't wait—nominations close JULY 24!

Whether you run a startup or manage a major company, if you're making environmental strides, we want to hear about it!
