The tri-boro will see increases in Clean Communities grant funding in 2013 as the state will award $13,944.92 to Butler and $19,794.96 to Kinnelon.

Funding increases for the Clean Communities grants, which are mostly used to promote recycling, in 13 District 26 municipalities were announced by state Assemblywoman BettyLou DeCroce Tuesday.

"I want to thank Gov. Christie’s administration for increasing the Clean Community grants this year,” DeCroce said. “The funding will help municipalities generate more recycling, which lowers trash collection costs for taxpayers and helps the environment.”
