AND THE DRPA JOINS THE NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION BEAUTIFUL NEW JERSEY CAMPAIGN
On Thursday, July 22, PATCO begins the process of recycling newspapers, glass and plastic with the placement of special trash receptacles at the Lindenwold, Ashland and Woodcrest Stations. The special green receptacles with a recycling decal will be located mostly on the station platforms although they will be available in other locations. The program will be expanded to include all other PATCO stations including the four subway stations in Philadelphia.
According to PATCO General Manager, Bob Box, \”public transportation provides a very friendly environmental way to travel and this recycling program represents yet another way that PATCO and its customers can take part in our go green initiative.\”
PATCO now joins the DRPA’s four bridge facilities and its headquarters One Port Center in Camden in implementing single stream municipal waste recycling.
DRPA Deputy CEO, Robert Gross, says \”the Authority is making daily choices to minimize potential environmental impacts. Our plan is to integrate environmental considerations in all aspects of our operations at all of our facilities.\”
