The following is an open letter regarding our recycling program, sent to Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little and Ernest J. Kuhlwein Jr., director of the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management.

Dear Mr. Little and Mr. Kuhlwein Jr.:

I have been a dedicated recycler since 1973. When I first began recycling in Vancouver, B.C., we had to sort out cans and bottles, newspapers, cardboard and plastic. Newspapers had to be tied in bundles that could only be so big. We kept everything in bins in our front hallway.
