NEW JERSEY CLEAN COMMUNITIES

New Jersey Clean Communities program in a statewide, comprehensive, litter-abatement program created by the passage of The Clean Communities Act in 1986. The mission is to reduce litter in public places, promote the volunteer cleanup of public lands and sustain a reduction in litter through education. The act provides a funding source for the program by placing a tax on fifteen categories of businesses that may produce litter-generating products. The program focuses on three areas: cleanup, education, and enforcement. For more information on the state program visit njclean.org.
