From the NJ Deparment of Environmental Protection

Pull out those Gucci work boots! Warm up that curbside collection limousine! Watch out for the recycling paparazzi! It’s almost time to walk down the “Green” Carpet to show off to the New Jersey recycling community, so nominate either yourself or others for the annual 2023 DEP Recycling Awards!

The DEP is looking for outstanding institutions, governments, businesses, and residents that go beyond the norm to advance recycling. Our goal is to highlight the success of those who promote recycling practices, waste reduction, and recycled product procurement to present them as examples available to others who may emulate them.

July 21 submission deadline

The categories are: Institution, Business, Government, Leadership, Volunteer Citizen, Retail Merchant, Rising Star, Outstanding Educator/Educational Program, Recycling Industry, Source Reduction/Resource Management/Sustainability, and Recycled Products Procurement Star.

Nominees will be judged by a panel from the NJ Department of Environmental Protection and the Association of New Jersey Recyclers. Winners from the previous three years are not eligible for an award. With just one month remaining in the nomination period, don’t wait to send in a submission!
