Carlstadt Receives New Defibrillators Thanks To Grant
The Borough of Carlstadt received 16 new defibrillators for its police cars, recreational facilities and the municipal building thanks to a grant obtained by the Carlstadt Office of Emergency Management. The new defibrillators are already in service to replace old and obsolete units in police vehicles. An additional six units will be installed at recreational facilities and municipal facilities once employees and coaches are trained in their use.
Police Chief Thomas Nielsen and Council President Craig Lahullier are shown here with the new life saving devices.
Carlstadt
receives $85,000 recycling grant from NJDEP
The Borough of Carlstadt received a $85,576.71 grant based
on its 2012 recycling program that collected 29,000 tons of material ranking it
second in Bergen County and fifth in the state, officials announced today.
This latest award brings the three year total received by the Borough to $252,298.25. The funds are used to invest in and offset the costs of Carlstadt’s existing recycling program including salaries, and maintenance. “This latest grant is an excellent example of money well-spent and a recycling program well-run,” said Council President Craig Lahullier. “Year-after-year Carlstadt ranks near the top of municipalities statewide in terms of recycling and that allows us to continue to invest in our program for the benefit of our economy and our environment.” Councilman Dave Stoltz, the Borough Council’s liaison to the recycling program said the grant is a recognition of excellence by the department which should be an example for other municipalities. “I am proud of the work that our people do every day,” said Stoltz. “Every year we receive significant funds back from the New Jersey DEP and that doesn’t happen with a half-hearted effort -- our recycling program is a success because of extraordinary work done by extraordinary people.
