Single use plastics

Cranford Residents,

Thank you for your ongoing recycling efforts to help keep Cranford clean.
As we continue to work towards a greener community, we’ve created a brief survey

(4-6 minutes) to get community input specifically as it relates to Single-Use Plastics.

Thank you in advance.
Green Team Committee
