Summary:

"New Jersey is sometimes imagined, particularly by non-New Jerseyans, as a giant garbage dump for New York and Philadelphia. But every place has had to struggle with the challenges of waste management. New Jersey's trash history is in fact more interesting than most, and actually more important than most. New Jersey's waste history includes intensive planning, deep-seated political conflict, organized crime, and literally every level of state and federal judiciary. It is a colorful history, to say the least and one that includes a number of firsts with regard to recycling, comprehensive planning, and the challenging economics of trash"-- Provided by publisher.
