Recycling Awards and Recycling Poetry Contest
- Recycling Awards Program - The Department promotes
recycling through the annual recycling awards program that is coordinated
in conjunction with the Association of New Jersey Recyclers (ANJR).
The awards recognize the outstanding recycling achievements of municipalities,
counties, businesses and industry and individuals, as well as schools
and other institutions and are presented at ANJR’s annual recycling
symposium. This program has generated positive publicity for New Jersey’s
recycling efforts.

recycling symposium and featured in a calendar that was distributed
to all schools with grades 4, 5 or 6. Additional information about this
