New Jersey motorists and their fellow travelers from out of state left over 500 tons — that tons — of litter on state-controlled roadways in 2010.
The Department of Transportation, as part of its “Clean Up NJ” initiative, also removed 51,000 square yards of graffiti.
And Transportation Commissioner James S. Simpson told the Assembly Budget Committee Thursday that as soon as the department is finished cleaning up from another one of the five toughest winters in the last 80 years, it will return to the litter and graffiti cleanup campaign.
