When the new television arrived at home, the proc-
ess was simple enough. The old one used to end up at the
curb, waiting for the garbage haulers to cart it off.
State law changes that took effect four years ago
kept those televisions, as well as computers and other
electronics, out of the landfills and forced them to be
recycled. Thats good, local recycling companies say,
because it keeps potentially harmful material out of the
landfills.
But those same companies say the subsidies that
used to offset their costs for recycling televisions have
been declining since the law was approved. Without
changes, the result could mean they have to pass their
costs on to towns or stop serving them all together.
The market is where it is, and it is only getting
worse, said Chris Massaro, chief executive officer of
Monmouth Wire and Computer Recycling, a Tinton
Falls-based company that serves the electronics recy-
cling program for Monmouth County as well as a num-
ber of municipalities in central New Jersey.
Analog televisions and computer monitors contain
cathode ray tubes, commonly called CRTs, which are
difficult to recycle because they contain lead chemical-
ly bound into the glass.
Because of it, there was no value in recycling these
older model televisions and monitors. That changed

nesses and institutions.

copiers, fax machines, stereo components, printers,
cables, televisions, telephones, VCRs and DVD play-
ers.

p.m. Monday through Friday and 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Saturday at the Monmouth County Reclamation
Center at Gate A, 600 Asbury Ave. in Tinton Falls.
Residents can also drop electronics off at centers in
14 towns that participate in the county program:
Aberdeen, Belmar, Eatontown, Freehold Borough,
Freehold Township, Hazlet, Holmdel, Long Branch,
Marlboro, Middletown, Millstone Township, Ocean,

ABERDEEN Monmouth County leaders and local
environmental groups fear the Port Authority of New
York and New Jersey is backing away from a $5 million
commitment to preserve land in the northeastern
stretch of the county.
Some local leaders involved with the project to buy
about 88 acres in Aberdeen say the cold feet on the part
of the Port Authority appears to be fallout from the
George Washington Bridge scandal and subsequent
personnel changes that hit the bi-state agency late
last year.
It certainly seems that the issues at the Port, includ-
ing Bridgegate, have made it difficult to move ahead,
said Greg Remaud, deputy director of NY/NJ Baykeep-
ers, one of about a half-dozen nonprofit and govern-
ment agencies working on the proposed Freneau Woods
Park, what would be an overall 250-acre park stretch-

JACKSON A power outage at Six Flags Great Ad-
venture temporarily shut down all the parks rides
some with people on them left customers upset and
snarled traffic with exiting patrons Sunday afternoon.
The outage disappointed people inside the crowded
park who were unable to go on rides or purchase re-
freshments from shuttered concession stands. Patrons
who opted to leave the park when the rides shut down
jammed Route 537 for several hours.
Great Adventure spokesperson Kaitlyn Turi said the
outage occurred at 1:30 p.m. and that all park guests on
affected rides at the time of the outage were safely un-
loaded within 20 minutes.
Turi said about half the parks rides had been re-
opened by 5 p.m. More would continue to be reopened
as power was restored in the park, she said.
