Matawan Gets $10,000 Recycling Grant

Matawan has been awarded a $10,000 grant to partially fund the construction of a new recycling center, county officials said.

Matawan and Keyport were the first towns to receive Monmouth County’s Recycling Stimulus Initiative (RSI) grants, according to a county news release.

The grant program was created to encourage municipalities to increase recycling in their communities.

Keyport was awarded a $6,000 grant.

“We want to thank these towns for doing their part to keep our County beautiful,” Deputy Director of the Freeholders Serena DiMaso, the liaison to the Monmouth County Reclamation Center, said in a prepared statement. “We are proud of all of the efforts made by the mayors and their towns to promote recycling in their towns.”
