Recycling Rules In The Garden State

Hopefully, you do some type of recycling in your home or business, no matter which route you go if we all do our part it all adds up and helps with the overall clean-up of our towns. I think eliminating those plastic bags at stores in New Jersey was a good move. Using "reusable" bags isn't hard and we have cut way own on the litter from the plastic bags. I have a couple in each car and those are the only ones I use, I do not purchase a new bag every time I shop.
