The Environmental Commission is an advisory board which reviews all development applications that come before the Planning Board or Zoning Board of Adjustment. The Environmental Commission also makes ordinance recommendations to protect and preserve the environmental quality of the Township.

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.

Additional information is also available on the Ocean County Website: http://www.co.ocean.nj.us/OC/SolidWaste/frmRecycleCoach.aspx
