In 2021, Hazlet Clean Communities invested a portion of the annual state grant into attractive new trash receptacles. Three sets of these cans were placed in Veterans Park in August, 2022. Their design will help the public easily separate trash and recycling. An important feature is the lids on both, to prevent wildlife from getting into the cans. And they look nice, too! Some of the older cans will be retired from the park.
Education program aim to teach both residents and visitors the ramifications of littering and ways to work together to prevent litter from affecting our state.
