Franklin Lakes Appoints Coordinator to Manage Recycling Efforts

The Franklin Lakes Recycling program now has its own dedicated leader.

According to a post on the borough's website, the mayor and council have appointed a part-time recycling coordinator to manage the town's recycling efforts, and reach out to residents about recycling opportunities.

According to the post, Brooke Majka is a Franklin Lakes resident and a 2013 graduate of Ramapo College with a degree in Environmental Science. Brooke has been on the Franklin Lakes Green Team and has been attending Environmental Commission meetings for several years. She has participated in several of the Environmental Commission’s ongoing programs including Clean-Up Day, the Earth Day celebration and the booth at the Town Fair.

As recycling coordinator she will manage "all of the borough’s recycling efforts, including educating the public on the benefits of recycling, preparing and filing State recycling reports, and ensuring that individuals and businesses comply with Borough recycling ordinances," the post said.
