Freeholders select Waste Management to operate Monmouth County landfill
The Monmouth County Board of Freeholders has unanimously authorized the award and execution of a landfill facility service agreement with Waste Management of New Jersey Inc.
Under the terms of the agreement, the corporation will operate the Monmouth County Reclamation Center in Tinton Falls. Garbage from the county’s municipalities is transported to the facility.
During a meeting on Dec. 8, Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone said the county is not selling the landfill property or the infrastructure at the reclamation center, but is hiring a corporation to operate the sprawling facility.

New Jersey Herald
Colleagues and neighbors in two Sussex County towns mourned the loss of Jason Franco on Wednesday, remembering the Hamburg police officer and Montague volunteer firefighter killed the previous day on a family hunting trip. We re all in shock, Hamburg Mayor Paul Marino said in a telephone interview, pausing to remember when the 38-year-old Franco arrived at his mother s home for an emergency call. He couldn t have been any nicer to her, Marino recalled.
Franco, who was hired as patrolman in April 2018, was deer hunting with a group near Havens Road in Wantage when a juvenile in the party accidentally fired a weapon and struck Franco shortly before 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, said Larry Hajna, a spokesman for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, which investigated the incident.

LNG terminal on Boston waterfront
Environmentalists were dismayed by the Delaware River Basin Commission’s approval on Wednesday of a plan to build New Jersey’s first liquefied natural gas export terminal but they say the fight isn’t over yet.
Opponents are now vowing to appeal the vote in federal court while asking state and federal agencies to take another look at some permits that have already been issued and hoping that other still-needed permits won’t be granted.
But absent a court injunction soon, it’s not clear whether environmental groups will be able to stop the start of construction of a dock at Gibbstown in Gloucester County, where LNG from Pennsylvania would be loaded on to ocean-going tankers.
