The Union County Board of County Commissioners invites residents to participate in a multi-site clean-up along Green Brook Park on Sunday, May 19^th, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Green Brook Park, nestled in Plainfield, is part of the Lower Raritan Watershed, encompassing 352 square miles throughout Middlesex, Monmouth, Somerset, and Union Counties, and flows through parts of fifty municipalities.

“Clean waters not only sustain life but also nurture communities, fostering a sense of stewardship and pride,” said Union County Commissioner Chairwoman Kimberly Palmieri-Mouded. “Through our collective efforts, we can ensure that future generations inherit not just clean streams but a legacy of environmental responsibility and resilience. We celebrate the dedication of our volunteers and partners, who embody this spirit of stewardship, turning passion into action for a healthier Green Brook!”

On May 19th, the Union County Bureau of Recycling and Planning will collaborate with agencies including Americorps, the New Jersey Watershed Ambassadors Program, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, the Lower Raritan Watershed Partnership, New Jersey Clean Communities, the Central Jersey Stream Team, the Mayor’s Alliance, and other municipal partners in this special cleaning initiative aimed at revitalizing the Green Brook Watershed.

The Lower Raritan watershed is a sanctuary for approximately 240 bird species and provides crucial habitat for amphibians, reptiles, and other aquatic life. Historical growth and associated pollution have left a legacy of contamination in the river. Efforts like this scheduled clean-up play a vital role in enhancing ecosystem quality and preserving biodiversity and habitat for plants and animals.

Now in its third year, this multi-site clean-up initiative will span four different locations in both Middlesex and Union Counties. Clean-up locations include Green Brook Park (Plainfield), McCoy Park (Dunellen), Green Brook Regional Center (Green Brook Township), and Mountainview Park (Middlesex Township). Participants assigned to Green Brook Park will convene at the park in the City of Plainfield. Parking is available along Park Drive.

All participants are advised to come prepared with waterproof shoes or boots and clothing suitable for wet and dirty conditions. Gloves, trash bags, and other supplies will be provided. Registration is mandatory. Interested participants may register at https://lowerraritanwatershed.org/event/may-9-multi-site-green-brook-clean-up/.

Additional stewardship efforts for the Green Brook waterway include a study of juvenile Spring glass eels coordinated by the Lower Raritan Watershed Partnership and installation of the first-in-New Jersey mechanical “litter trap” designed by the Georgia-based Stormwater Systems. The litter trap project was selected for implementation as part of the Cornell-Dubilier Electronics Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) Restoration Plan. Project partners include Dunellen, Green Brook, the Lower Raritan Watershed Partnership, and the Cornell Dubilier Trustees (New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, US Fish and Wildlife Service and National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration).

Last night at the Union County Board of County Commissioners meeting, the Commissioners awarded a total of $1,500,000.00 to the County’s twenty-one municipalities for the 2024 Union County Infrastructure and Municipal Aid grant program.

“We are so happy to continue supporting the growth and development of our communities through the Union County Infrastructure and Municipal Aid grant program,” said Commissioner Chairwoman Kimberly Palmieri-Mouded. “These funds represent our commitment to investing in projects that enhance the quality of life for our residents, and we are excited to see the positive impact they will have.”

Representatives from all 21 municipalities in Union County submitted videos to accept the check and share what they will do with the funds. A variety of revitalization projects are expected to be undertaken with the funds – however, road improvements are on the top of the list.

“As Chair of the Fiscal Committee, I am proud of the diligent work put into allocating these funds effectively,” said Commissioner Rebecca Williams. “This grant program stands as a testament to our dedication to responsible fiscal management, ensuring that our municipalities have the resources they need to tackle vital infrastructure projects and strengthen local economies.”

The Infrastructure grant program is aimed at providing assistance that will stimulate the development of public projects of economic, social, transportation and governmental importance to local municipalities. The Infrastructure and Municipal Aid grant is a matching grant and will assist municipalities with projects being undertaken in the 2024 calendar year.

The program was created by Commissioner Christopher Hudak in 2015, developed by the County Commissioner’s Fiscal Committee and administered by the Department of Economic Development.  This year’s Commissioner Fiscal Committee included: Commissioner Rebecca Williams as the Chair, Vice-Chairwoman Commissioner Lourdes Leon, Commissioner Sergio Granados and Commissioner Alexander Mirabella.

Funding for the grant is provided through the proceeds from the sale of Runnells Specialized Hospital in 2014.

The Union County Board of County Commissioners and the Department of Parks and Recreation would like to invite all residents to our free Touch-A-Truck Event on Sunday, May 19^th from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Oak Ridge Park, located on 136 Oak Ridge Road in Clark.

“Our Touch-A-Truck event promises an unforgettable day of excitement for the whole family,” said Union County Commissioner Chairwoman Kimberly Palmieri-Mouded. “I encourage all of our community to come out and join us for a fun-filled Sunday complete with exploration, from excavators to police cruisers, and even hayrides through the park.

The Union County Touch-A-Truck event is the ultimate hands-on experience.

The Union County Board of County Commissioners is pleased to announce the expansion of the reusable bag recycling program, aimed at addressing the surplus of reusable bags in our communities. This program is in collaboration with the Union County Bureau of Recycling and Planning, the Town of Westfield, the Housing Authority of the City of Elizabeth (HACE), the City of Linden, the Town of Kenilworth, the Borough of New Providence, the City of Plainfield, the Town of Hillside, the City of Summit, and GOATote, Inc. to provide a solution to this issue.

“With Union County residents at the heart of this initiative, we are transforming excess into opportunity, creating a sustainable cycle that benefits both our environment and our community,” said Commissioner Chairwoman Kimberly Palmieri-Mouded. “This program not only tackles waste but also represents unity and responsibility, showcasing the power of collective action for a greener, brighter future. Thank you to all of those who are involved in making this initiative possible.”

With the implementation of New Jersey’s Get Past Plastic law, which prohibits businesses from providing single-use plastic bags, many individuals have transitioned to using reusable bags. However, some people occasionally forget to bring their reusable bags to stores, resulting in the purchase of additional bags. Over time, this has led to an accumulation of excess reusable bags in households. Furthermore, grocery delivery services often provide customers with reusable bags, contributing to the surplus.

At the same time, Food Pantries and Food Banks have expressed that they are having difficulty keeping up with the need for reusable bags when distributing groceries to their clients. Since these entities are no longer permitted to use single-use plastic bags when handing out food and supplies, they go through reusable bags very quickly and are frequently in need of more.

Residents from any municipality in Union County can bring their gently-used reusable bags to any of the participating locations. GOATote, Inc. will collect the bags, thoroughly clean and sanitize them, and deliver them to the Community Food Bank of New Jersey in Hillside. From there, the bags will be distributed to local Food Pantries in need.

The Union County Board of County Commissioners is proud to announce that the Union County Department of Parks and Recreation will start a new pilot initiative to boost recycling and curb litter in Warinanco Park, which borders Elizabeth, Roselle, and Linden.

“We believe that maintaining the cleanliness, safety, and enjoyability of our parks and playgrounds is a team effort, and are committed to making the clean-up and recycling process as convenient as possible for our park-goers,” said Union County Commissioner Chairwoman Kimberly Palmieri-Mouded. “With the launch of this recycling initiative, we hope to make it easier for visitors to find recycling bins throughout the park and make the process more convenient. I encourage all residents and visitors to participate in this program and keep an eye out for new signage when visiting Warinanco Park.”

The Union County Bureau of Recycling and Planning and the Union County Department of Parks and Recreation have purchased one hundred 96-gallon recycling containers, one hundred 96-gallon trash containers, two recycling dumpsters, two trash dumpsters, and a satellite lifter system for an existing pick-up truck, which will help pick up the trash and recycling containers and take it to the proper recycling market. The equipment will help automate trash and recycling pick-ups in Warinanco Park.  The new containers and signage will provide a clearer message about where to dispose of trash and recycling, which will help increase recycling efforts and prevent litter in the park. Additionally, brochures with guidelines in English and Spanish will be available for park visitors.

This initiative was made possible by the Union County Board of County Commissioners, the Department of Parks and Recreation, and inspired by participants of the Rutgers Environmental Steward Program. The program has been funded through Union County’s application of the Recycling Enhancement Act Grant and the Clean Communities Grant, which is provided through the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
