Wyckoff April 17, 2013 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • Page 7 Volunteers ‘Team Up’ to gather almost 100 bags by John Koster The volunteer workers at Wyckoff’s 2013 Team Up to Tidy Up gathered almost 100 bags of litter and recyclables from 25 locations around the township. The tally included 61 bags of trash and 33 bags of recyclable materials. The town-wide cleanup of quasi-public sites -- those which are neither private nor municipal property -- is part of a campaign to increase Wyckoff’s residential recycling rate to 50 percent. The current figure is 31.41 percent of all disposables according to municipal officials. As a tandem event, the township and the environmental commission conducted a free shredding event at Wyckoff Town Hall in which personal and confidential documents could be reduced to shredded paper.
