PLASTIC BAG COLLECTION
Each year, U. S. consumers throw away approximately 100
billion plastic shopping bags, which can take up to 1,000
years to decompose in a landfill. In addition, thousands
of plastic bags are carried by the wind into forests,
rivers, and lakes each year killing birds and mammals
that get tangled in them or mistake them for food.
The environmentally friendly answer is to switch to reusable
sturdy canvas or cloth bags that you bring from home.
If you are not ready to purchase your own reusable bags,
consolidate your purchases into as few bags as possible.
When you get home, keep the plastic bags you brought home
from the store. On your next shopping trip, reuse the
bags or drop them in a plastic bag collection container
to be recycled. Plastic bag collection points are found
in the Acme Markets and Shop Rite Markets throughout Cumberland
County. Contact ddematte@ccia-net.com or rdanna@ccianet.com
if you have questions or know of other plastic bag collection
locations.

The
Cumberland County Improvement Authority has successfully
instituted a recycling collection program for schools
and government agencies. Our program consists of two
separate containers, one to collect paper and cardboard
and the other commingled bottles and cans produced
at the participating facilities. This new program
is designed to reduce costs for the participating
public entities and increase recycling participation
even further. This type of shared service would ensure
an agency is in compliance with the State’s
recycling laws.
The response to this program has been very positive
with many school districts committing to the program.
The first collection vehicle arrived in August 2006
servicing County agencies as well as the Millville
and Upper Deerfield Township school districts. Since
then, all Cumberland County school districts and several
non-public schools have made the commitment to reducing
and recycling in their schools. Government agencies,
non-profit entities, post offices and businesses with
an environmental partnership with the Authority have
also made the commitment to recycling through this
program. Efforts continue to reach out to public and
private institutions throughout the county.
The collection vehicle is equipped with a scale to
quantify the facility’s recycling efforts. In
this way, valuable information is obtained on the
amount of material produced at each site.
Recyclable
paper and cardboard materials include office paper,
worksheets, unwanted mail, newspaper, copy paper,
construction paper, magazines, catalogs, reports,
color paper, shredded paper, and file folders. Flatten
all cardboard boxes. No art projects with heavy amounts
of glue glitter or paint, paper towels, tissues or
napkins or chip board boxes.
Recycled
commingled materials (bottles and cans) include plastic
containers with the number 1 or 2 in the recycling
symbol. This will always include water bottle and beverage
containers. Aluminum cans, glass containers, empty
aerosol containers, steel cans.
Promoting
this program’s
efforts and accomplishments throughout the year is
key to its
success. The Cumberland
County Improvement Authority can help with outreach efforts
through onsite visits, staff orientation programs, professional
school assembly programs, special contests or in-house
programs promoted by the organization itself. For more
information, contact Dennis DeMatte Jr, Recycling Coordinator,
by phone at 856-825-3700 or by email at ddematte@ccia-net.com.
Enviro Fair
The Environmental Fair
is an Authority sponsored event designed to teach our
younger generation that the environment is influenced
by every decisions. We are able to provide the County’s
youth with an abundance of information about the importance
of recycling, proper solid waste management practices,
source reduction, water quality, buying recycled, non-point
source pollution and the eco-system of Cumberland County.
CCIA is proud to have been able to reach thousands of
students through the Environmental Fair who go on to spread
the knowledge with their friends and families and become
ambassadors for the environment.

Farmer Honored
Keith MacIndoe (center), Manager, Johnson Farms, Deerfield,
Cumberland County, accepted the Recycling Leadership Award for Business during
the 27th New Jersey Recycling Symposium and Awards Luncheon in Eatontown. Accompanying
MacIndoe is Dennis DeMatte, Jr., Cumberland County Recycling Coordinator, and
Karen Kritz, Recycling Manager, NJ Department of Agriculture.
Johnson
Farms was recognized by state Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner
Lisa P. Jackson for the steps it has taken to boost recycling in the community
during the past year. The township business was one of eight organizations,
businesses, government entities and individuals in the state honored for their
contributions during the 27th annual New Jersey Recycling Symposium and Awards
Luncheon in Eatontown on October 17, 2007.
The
DEP and the Association of New Jersey Recyclers co-sponsor the event each year.
Jackson said the annual recycling awards provide an opportunity to recognize
the vision and leadership of those who work toward innovative ways to expand
recycling. "These reward recipients are making a difference by keeping
New Jersey on the path to a greener future through recycling," Jackson
said. "There are many good reasons to recycle. It conserves natural resources,
reduces waste, curbs greenhouse emissions, and strengthens the economy."
Johnson Farms was honored in the business category. According
to a DEP press release, "The 2,000-acre nursery and sod farm in Deerfield,
Cumberland County has taken aggressive steps to recycle plastic, starting with
plastic film. Last year, Johnson Farms initiated a program to recycle plastic
nursery pots and plastic netting used in the production of sod."

Guidelines
for the Correct Home Disposal of Syringes
print
this section
ATTENTION CUMBERLAND COUNTY RESIDENTS
South Jersey Healthcare has introduced a program for people using injectable medications and other sharp medical items at home.
Residents may drop off these items, by appointment, at the Bridgeton Health Center, Elmer Hospital or the Regional Medical Center.
They must be in sealed, closed containers that are shatter proof, leak proof and puncture proof.
For more information or to make an appointment, call the SJH Environmental Services Department at the following location:
Bridgeton Health Center: 856-575-4524
Elmer Hospital: 856-363-1508
Regional Medical Center: 856-641-7510
If disposing of syringes at home, please remember to use these guidelines for the correct home disposal of syringes. The proper disposal of syringes used at home is simple but important.
- Place used syringes into an empty, puncture proof container such as a coffee can, soda bottle, or mayonnaise jar. Please bend the tip of the needle back to avoid injury.
- Replace the lid or cap on the container and secure with strong tape (such as duct tape) to prevent accidental opening. Syringe containers do not need to be labeled.
- Place the container in non-clear trash bags or cans for disposal. Do not put the syringe container in with your recyclables.
The disposal of syringes used at home is governed by law. The improper disposal of home use syringes may lead to legal action to protect our trash collectors, children, and the residents of our County.

Pretreatment Facility
Leachate is the end product of rainfall on our
landfill that filters down through the trash and
other solid waste and is collected at the bottom
of the landfill on a liner system. These liners
protect the ground waters below the site. The
Leachate is pumped off the bottom of the landfill
and sent to our Pretreatment Facility for processing.
The treated material is then hauled to the Cumberland
County Utilities Authority where it is processed
even further.

Tire Shredding Area
The tire shedder has two-one hundred horse-powered
electric motors that provide hydraulic power to
shred the tires collected in the county. This
unit can process up to 1,800 car tires per hour
and reduces the tires into 3” x 6”
shreds. Tire shreds will be used at the toe of
slope on active cells as a drainage medium to
facilitate the percolation of storm water to the
Leachate Collection System. This will help to
prevent the formation of mosquito colonies.

Restaurants, just like any other business, are concerned with their disposal fees
and the role they play in protecting our environment. Now, more than ever, reducing
waste and recycling are smart tactics to incorporate into everyone’s business
policies. A lot of material is being discarded that could be utilized as a resource.
By reducing and recycling effectively, your restaurant can, not only save money
on solid waste tipping fees; but can also extend the life of landfills. Additionally,
you will be doing your part to save valuable resources and energy.
Hopefully, as you read through the following, you will find that you are already
using many of the suggestions that you will find here.
Purchasing
- Ask your suppliers to
inform you of products that contain recycled content, have reduced packaging,
and are packaged in recyclable materials.
- Ask suppliers to take
packaging back after use.
- To minimize the amount
of bottles and cans used, serve carbonated beverages from a beverage dispenser.
- Buy concentrates and
bulk forms of beverages whenever possible;remember, the larger the container,
the less waste overall.
- Use health department
approved refillable condiment bottles instead of individual packets.
- Buy shelf-stable foods
in bulk.
- Buy meats in bulk instead
of proportioned.
- If you use a lot of eggs,
consider buying them shelled. This will increase your yield up to 30% and
eliminate the need to dispose of egg shells and cartons.
- Ask for your menus to
be printed on recycled paper.
- Purchase plastic trash
can liners made of recycled plastic rather than those made from virgin materials.
- Cleaning supplies can
be purchased as concentrates rather than ready-to-use.
- Use toilet tissue made
from recycled paper in your restrooms.
Reuse
- If you haven’t
already, switch to reusable table linens and napkins, china, glasses and flatware.
- Use pourers
for sugar, pitchers for cream and small serving dishes for butter.
- Store food in
reusable containers.
- Use hot air
dryers in restrooms.
- Print daily
specials on a chalkboard or dry-erase board rather than new sheets of paper
every day.
- Food Prep and
Storage
- Rotate perishable
stock at every delivery to minimize waste due to spoilage.
- Store raw vegetables
in reusable airtight containers to prevent dehydration and spoilage.
- Adjust inventory
levels on perishables to reduce waste due to spoilage or dehydration.
- Use daily production
charts to minimize over-prepping and unnecessary waste.
- Whenever possible,
prepare food to order.
- Check your produce
deliveries carefully for rotten or damaged product; and return any substandard
product.
Recycle
Some items commonly generated in restaurants vary greatly from those generated
in homes and offices. The first step in any recycling program is to learn what
MUST be recycled and then to identify what CAN be recycled. | | |
