litter

Ever done this or had it done to you? You pass by a neighbor's trash can and toss a coffee cup or banana peel into it? In the state of New Jersey, is it illegal?

Funds increased by $700,000 over the past year, so that means New Jersey consumers spent a lot more on litter-producing products.

The City Council is poised to pass a series of criminal justice reforms that would sharply curtail the punishments for low-level offenses such as littering and peeing in public, an overhaul intended to help unclog the courts and jails of the nation's largest city.

New Jersey highways are about to get a lot cleaner.  The Department of Corrections will provide 100 inmates to collect litter along highways throughout the state under the Department of Transportation's Clean Up NJ initiative.
