Mayor Gregory Myhre and members of the Environmental Commission toured the Northern Recycling Center in Lakewood on Friday February 22 to gain a better understanding of our recycling process.  Recyclable material from Ocean County is sorted at the facility Monday through Saturday.  More information on the trip will be posted on the township website along with additional information regarding the new recycling guidelines.
