NJCCC Recognizes William Johnson with Cleanup Award

William Johnson, Monmouth County Clean Communities Coordinator, has received the “Cleanup Award” from the New Jersey Clean Communities Council (NJCCC).

Johnson directs the Clean Communities program in Monmouth County, which engages residents to improve neighborhoods by recycling and volunteering for clean-ups. The Monmouth County Clean Communities program also works with other local entities, such as the Monmouth County Park System, to promote beach and park clean ups.

“Our mission is to reduce litter, promote as many volunteer cleanups as possible, and keep our county litter-free through education,” Johnson said.

The Cleanup Award is presented to a municipality or county for a program or project that promotes the cleanup and maintenance of public lands by volunteers.

“As one of our hardest working clean communities coordinators, William has continually shown his dedication to improving the landscape and educating residents about lingering littering problems in Monmouth County,” said NJCCC Executive Director Sandy Huber.

NJCCC is a comprehensive, statewide litter-abatement program that has served New Jersey residents and visitors for more than 25 years. Learn more at njclean.org.
