Recycling





Back to Tap
Encourage residents to reduce the number of disposable water bottles used and thrown into the trash in Montgomery.  Ask residents to switch from bottled water to tap water, to use reusable water bottles when possible and to recycle.  Publicize the quality of tap water (Elizabethtown/NJ American Water can provide data).  Educate residents on health reusable bottles, for example, plastic BPA-free bottles, stainless steel and glass.  See www.back2tap.com for more information.
