Happy Earth Day from the NJ Clean Communities Council!

We are dedicated to keeping our state beautiful through initiatives like Litter Free NJ. Small actions lead to big changes for our environment!

Some ways you can help:

Pick it up: If you see litter, please put it in a trash or recycling bin.

Skip the straw: Say "no thanks" to single-use plastic straws.

Leave no trace: Make sure your favorite parks and beaches stay clean.

Let's keep the Garden State green!

Some great final photos from our fourth-annual conference, held March 4-6. On behalf of the NJCCC Board of Trustees, NJCCC Executive Director JoAnn Gemenden, as well as the conference staff (who are likely taking some well-deserved naps at this point), our deepest appreciation for the hundreds of attendees who learned and laughed with us over these three special days in Atlantic City. See you all next year!

PS - And a special "thank you" to Ed Murray who took all these fantastic conference photos!
