NJ project helps communities combat illegal dumping
The state Department of Environmental Protection has launched an initiative to support municipalities in combatting illegal dumping.
The 10-month program was spurred by community feedback in what officials are describing as environmental justice communities, usually poorer or working-class ZIP codes often beset by pollution or contamination.
