A Message From Your Township Mayor and CouncilMany residents may not know that recycling is the law in New Jersey. In Belleville, we recognize that it’s very important for many reasons. As your Mayor, stabilizingyour property taxes is one of my main goals, however this sometimes is very difficult. Yet one clear way to help reduce your property taxes directly is to RecycleYour Waste... Yes, by recycling your waste, you the taxpayer reduce Belleville’s solid waste costs, thus at year’s end those savings help to off set your property taxes.So, please remember recycling reduces waste, conserves energy by giving previously used natural resources a new life and it SAVES TAX DOLLARS, YOUR TAXDOLLARS. YOUR TAX DOLLARS ARE SAVED ON IT.Mayor, Raymond R. KimbleRecycling is a direct way we the Citizens of Belleville could cut back on the costly waste disposal fees the Township pays when we dump our garbageand could even earn money in return. So when I hear the many recycling slogans like Choose to Reduce, Recycling Works, or Love It or Lose it!I say, “JUST DO IT....RECYCLE”.Marie Strumolo Burke, 1st Ward CouncilwomanRecycling is important not only does it save the earth, but saves the Township money. Everyone must recycle it’s the law andit’s going to be enforcedKevin Kennedy, Councilman at LargeOver the last few years we have worked to increase recycling in Belleville. We would like to thank you for your great response. We have increasedour recycling tonnage but still have not met our target goal of 50% recycling. We need your continued help. If you need more information onrecycling or Township Services please visit Belleville’s updated website www.bellevillenj.org. We will be mailing a recycling newsletter out to allresidents before the summer for added help in our recycling efforts.Michael Nicosia, Councilman at LargeRecycling is at times challenging, but it makes a difference. Recycling helps our town financially along with helping the environment. Let’s worktogether and recycle. Let’s continue to keep Belleville on of the top 100 towns to live in. Let’s continue to improve quality of life.John Notari, 4th ward CouncilmanRecycling is one of the few ways we as residents can save tax dollars and energy at the same time. By increasing recycling, we reduce the cost ofBelleville’s garbage disposal. We save energy because it is cheaper to reuse materials like plastic or aluminum rather than creating them from theraw materials. For example, by recycling aluminum we can save 95% of the energy required to retrieve aluminum from Bauxite Ore. This saves usenergy, money and decreases “Greenhouse Gases”. Recycling is a sound effort both economically and environmentally.Steve Rovell, 2nd ward CouncilmanIn 2006, the United States reached a landmark in its paper recycling efforts, with 53.4% of the paper consumed being recovered for recycling.However recycling paper is not enough, our recycling efforts on the whole and especially here in Belleville need to increase if we want to see amarked difference in our landfills, resources and global warming. Statistically the United States recycles just about 28% of its waste today, whichis doubled from what it was a decade ago, but we here in Belleville need to continue to do our part, so please remember to RE-USE, RECYCLEand most importantly REDUCE your waste.Paul J. Mac Donald, 3rd ward Councilman

Press ReleasePRESS RELEASEBelleville Police DepartmentTownship of Belleville152 Washington Avenue, Belleville, NJ 07109Telephone (973) 450-3333Fax (973) 450-8740Chief Joseph P. RotondaPRESS RELEASEBelleville Police DepartmentTownshiap of Belleville152 Washington Avenue, Belleville, NJ 07109Telephone (973) 450-3333Fax (973) 450-8740Chief Joseph P. RotondaFor immediate release:In 1983, the D.A.R.E. program was started and has grown rapidly throughoutthe country and all over the world. The Belleville Police Department has beeninstructing our sixth grade students from the very beginning. Even though the D.A.R.E. program has been in place for many years, some still do not know what theprogram consists of and why it is taught.D.A.R.E. stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. It is a drug abuse preventioneducation program designed to equip elementary school children withknowledge about drug abuse, the consequences of abuse, and skills for resistingpeer pressure to experiment with drugs, alcohol and tobacco. Based on the premisethat prevention is a long term answer to drug abuse, the program includes all50 states and 53 countries. The D. A.R.E. program is taught in over 75% of ournation’s school districts, creating a positive atmosphere for students to interactwith uniformed law enforcement officers. This unique program uses uniformedlaw enforcement officers to teach a formal curriculum to students in a classroomsetting.D.A.R.E. is a cooperative effort by the police, schools, parents and the community- all four working together to help our children make the right choices concerningdrug use. Using the latest in prevention science and teaching techniques, D. A.R.E.is reinventing itself as part of a major national research study that promises to helpteachers and administrators cope with the tough issues of school violence, budgetcuts and terrorism. The need for an effective program to alert students against thethreat of drugs is critical to the well being of our children and their future.Tips For Parents:• Establish family rules, make it clear that drug use will not be tolerated• Educate yourself about drugs, talk with your children, answer questions• Spend time with your children, listen to them, show your love and concern• Realize that YOU are their most important role model• Know your children’s friends, peer pressure is a major factor in drug use• Talk with other parents, try to set uniform rules for your children and friends• If there is a problem, GET HELP! Don’t say “Not my child”• Teach children about positive alternatives to drug useFor immediate release:The G.R.E. A.T. program, Gang Resistance Education And Training, is a schoolbased, law enforcement officer instructed classroom curriculum. With preventionas its primary objective, the program is intended as a protection against delinquency,youth violence and gang activity.The goal of the G.R.E.A.T. program is to help our youth develop positive lifeskills that will help them avoid gang involvement and violent behavior. G.R.E.A.T. uses a communitywide approach to combat the risk factors associated withyouth involvement in gang related behaviors. The curriculum was developedthrough the collaborative efforts of experienced law enforcement officers and specialistsin criminology, sociology, psychology, education and health. The lessonsare interactive and designed to allow students to practice positive behaviors thatwill remain with them during the remainder of their development years.Over the 15 years since G.R.E. A.T. went nationwide, many law enforcementagencies and schools from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico,the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam have implemented the program. The G.R.E.A.T. program is delivered in over 400 communities across the United States ofAmerica.Our department teaches this program to all the seventh grade students at BellevilleMiddle School and to all the fifth grade students in our elementary schools. Theseventh grade program lasts for thirteen weeks, ending with a graduation ceremonyand gifts for the students. The fifth grade program lasts for six weeks, withall students receiving gifts for their participation. Our students are learning aboutrefusal skills, conflict resolution and basic decision making skills.The success of G.R.E.A.T. is founded on the mutual commitment of law enforcementand educational agencies, united in a common goal to:• provide children with skills to combat stress that leads to gang involvement• provide children with accurate knowledge of gang activity• provide the skills needed to resolve conflicts peacefully• help children understand the need to set realistic goals

The City of Newark’s drinking water meets orsurpasses all federal and state drinking water standards. TheCity of Newark’s water comes entirely from surface sources inthe Pequannock and Wanaque watersheds that covers 150square miles of forest lands in Morris, Sussex, and PassaicCounties. Newark’s Pequannock Supply is from five pristinewater supply reservoirs; the 14.4billion gallon supply is fromCharlottesburg, Echo Lake, Canistear, Clinton and Oak Ridgereservoirs, NJDWSC gets its water from two of the most pristinewater supply reservoirs in the country; namely29.6 billiongallon Wanaque and the 7 billion gallon Monksville. TheCommission also operates two pump stations designed topump 250 million gallons per day of water from the PomptonRiver and 150 million gallons per day from the Ramapo Riverin the Wanaque Reservoir as needed. The New JerseyDepartment of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) hascompleted the Source water Assessment Reports andSummaries for all Public Water Systems (PWS). Moreinformation on the Source Water Assessment Report can befound by logging onto the NJDEP website atwww.state.nj.us/dep/swap or by contacting the NJDEP Bureauof Safe Drinking Water at (609) 292-5550Contaminates that may be present in source water include:Microbial contaminates, such as viruses and bacteria, whichmay come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems,agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.Inorganic contaminates, such as salts and metals, which can benaturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff,industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gasproduction, mining, or farming.Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety ofsources such as agriculture, urban stormwear runoff, andresidential uses.Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic andvolatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrialprocesses and petroleum production, and can also come fromgas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribesregulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants inwater provided by public water systems. Food and DrugAdministration regulations establish limits for contaminants inbottled water which must provide the same protection forpublic health.Safeguarding Our WaterThe City of Newark Water Treatment Plant located in WestMilford and the NJDWSC Water Treatment Plant is located inWanaque, NJ, where it is purified and filtered to ensure itssafety and potability. To ensure the safety of the water,NJDWSC and Newark routinely monitor and test the water atrivers, lakes and streams that supply its reservoirs. Wecontinually monitor the quality of the water throughout thedistribution system which finds its way to you, the consumer.This is all done at fully NJDEP and EPA Certified Water QualityLaboratories.In response to the events of September 11, and to the State’sDomestic Security Preparedness Act, Newark has completed avulnerability assessment of its water supplies, treatment plantand transmission system, provided additional security, andanch Brook Drivempbell Avenue # 41-72dar Hill Avenuelumbus Avenueescent Terracevision Avenue # 158-355wood Avenuemet Streettwhistle Avenuederal Streetrest Streetess Avenueeylock Parkway # 220-519eylock PlaceMeacham StreetMemphis AvenueMertz AvenueMitchell StreetMoore PlaceMt.

However, a small amount of fluoride may occurnaturally in your water. About 0.10 parts per million fluorideswas detected in your water supply last year.Current Water IssuesSome people may be more vulnerable to contaminants indrinking water than the general population. Immunocomprisedpersons such as persons with cancer undergoingchemotherapy, persons who has undergone organ transplants,people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, someelderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections.The people should seek advice about drinking water from theirhealth care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriatemeans to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium andother microbial contaminants are available from the SafeDrinking Water Hotline, (800) 426-4791.You may notice media attention to public water supply issuesrelated to radiological substances, mercury, lead, radon, andCryptosporidium. The Township of Belleville and Newarkhave performed and continue to perform extensive testing of allwater supplies. We want to assure our customers that we areproviding the high quality water you expect and deserve. Youmay be interested to know the following information:*Lead: The concentration of lead leaving the NJD-WSCtreatment facility and the Newark Pequannock facility arebelow the action level (AL) of 15 parts per billion mandated bythe Federal Lead and Copper Rule. In the First round of testingconducted in 2009, the Township of Belleville’s supply wasbelow the AL for this substance. However in the second roundof testing in 2009, the Township of Belleville’s water supplywas above the AL for this substance. It should be noted thatinfants and children who drink water containing lead in excessof the action level could experience delays in their physical andmental development. Children could show deficits inattentions span and learning abilities. Also, Adults who drinkthis water over many years could develop kidney problems orhigh blood pressure. Until the satellite feed station iscompleted, there are ways to reduce your exposure, however.High concentrations of lead are more prevalent in water whichsits in home plumbing pipes for a number of hours (particularlyovernight). One way to reduce these levels below AL would beto flush a toilet or run a tap for 30 seconds to a minute or untila discernable temperature change in the water is noted. It hasbeen found in laboratory studies on water from households thatlead levels consistently dropped below the 15ppb after a tapwas left running for 30 seconds to a minute prior to its use.Consumers are encouraged to employ this technique at leastonce a day. This would generally occur in the morning orwhen returning home from work or school.Van Reyper PlaceWilliam Street # 255-291Wilson PlaceZone 4 – ThursdayAcademy Street # 9-96Bayard StreetBellavista AvenueBelleville Avenue # 17-219Bridge StreetChurch TerraceClark TerraceCleveland StreetClinton StreetKidde PlaceLittle Street # 33-149Main StreetMill Street # 68-250Quinton StreetRailroad PlaceRalph StreetRaymond StreetRoosevelt AvenueRutgers Street # 1-86Schuyler StreetSmith StreetStephens StreetTerrace PlaceIf present, elevated levels of lead con cause serious healthproblems, especially for pregnant women and young children.Lead in drinking water is primarily from materialsand components associated with service lines and homeplumbing. The Township of Belleville is responsible for providinghigh quality drinking water, but cannot control thevariety of materials used in plumbing components. Whenyour water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimizethe potential for lead exposure by flushing your tapfor 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinkingor cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water,you may wish to have your water tested. Information onlead in drinking water is available form the Safe DrinkingWaterHotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.*Cryptosporidium: Lakes, rivers, and reservoirs may containthis tiny microbe. It is found in feces of humans and manydomestic and wild animals. Newark tests for Cryptosporidiumon a monthly basis in their Pequannock finished water surfacewater supplies. It has never been detected in a viable state inany of their treated water supplies. Neither has it been foundin the Wanaque Supply.Zone 5 – FridayAcademy Street # 126-151Agnes StreetBeech StreetBell StreetBerton PlaceBirchwood DriveBremond StreetCampbell Avenue # 9-24Carmer AvenueClearman PlaceCrest DriveCross PlaceDewitt AvenueFor more information, please contactAndrew Pappachen at 973-697-5992.Required Additional Health InformationSpecial Considerations Regarding Children, Pregnant Women,Nursing Mothers, and OthersChildren may receive a slightly higher amount of a contaminantpresent in their water than adults, on a body weight basis,because they may drink a greater amount of water per poundof body weight than adults do. For this reason, reproductive ordevelopment effects are used for calculating a drinking waterstandard if these effects occur at lower levels than other healtheffects of concern. If there is insufficient toxicity information fora chemical, and extra uncertainty factor may be incorporatedinto the calculation of drinking water standard, thus making thestandard more stringent, to account for uncertainties regardingthese effects.

MovingForward

The Textile ProblemToday only 20% of textile waste is recycled. 80% still ends up in the landfill or incinerator contributing to pollution and global warming ( HYPERLINK “http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/non-hw/muncpl/facts.htm” http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/non-hw/muncpl/facts.htm).One person on average contributes 65 pounds of textiles per year into the waste stream ( HYPERLINK “http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/non-hw/muncpl/facts.htm” http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/non-hw/muncpl/facts.htm).The average town in Northern New Jersey creates approximately 2.3 million pounds of textile waste per year. Around 520 million pounds of textiles enter the state’s wastestream every year.How We Plan to HelpThe Township of Belleville and Planet Aid, Inc. have recently joined forces to initiate an on-call system for the recycling of textiles. Citizens of Belleville who havetextiles to be recycled can call Planet Aid’s New Jersey district office and a truck or van will be expedited right away to pick them up at no charge. This convenient servicewill therefore reduce the amount of reusable textiles entering the waste stream.In this vain, Planet Aid wishes to thank Mayor Raymond Kimble and the town council for allowing us to service the fine Township of Belleville. We appreciate the opportunityand look forward to a long and prosperous partnership together.Who We Are and What We DoPlanet Aid is a nonprofit organization that raises funds through textile recycling. Reusable clothes, shoes, other textiles, small toys and books are sold for reuse, the proceedsof which fund charitable projects in underprivileged nations around the world.Charitable works include:Emergency relief - serving victims of hunger, war, natural disasters and other catastrophes.Relocating people or rebuilding areas hit by disasters.Undertaking development projects such as schools, clinics, mini-banking and small scale industry among others.Planet Aid’s efforts help the environment too. In 2006, the latest year available, 72 million pounds of clothes were rescued and CO² emissions from textile factories werereduced the equivalent of keeping over 16,000 cars off the roads for a year! Also in 2006, by not having to grow cotton to manufacture clothes, Planet Aid saved 74 billiongallons of water. Planet Aid has created more than 19,000 jobs, and saved American taxpayers $2.4 million in solid waste disposal as well.What We AcceptIn textiles we accept clean, dry, reusable clothes, shoes, linens, towels, curtains, purses and handbags. We take books, both hard and soft cover, though we do not acceptEncyclopedias or books with information that is out of date such as old medical or science books. We also accept reusable small toys four feet by four feet or smaller (nooutdoor play sets please) and working laptop computers. Unfortunately we do not take carpet, mattresses or furniture, appliances, TVs or other electronics.To schedule a pickup call: 973-779-1088.
