Employees at Mannington Wood Floors (Salem, N.J.) on Oct. 5 assisted with cleanup efforts in waterways adjacent to New Jersey's Route 45, near the entrance to the company's headquarters, and a nearby railroad.
The group of employees go by the moniker The Green Team Recyclers and help the company to raise environmental awareness. The cleanup effort was carried out in conjunction with the International Coastal Cleanup, an event organized by the Ocean Conservancy and New Jersey Clean Communities that annually attracts more than 500,000 volunteers in 100 countries worldwide.
"Mannington's property adjoins a portion of Fenwick Creek and Pledger Creek. By keeping these valuable ecological assets free of litter we can help maintain the cleanliness of tidal inland waterways, which has a direct impact on regional water and coastal quality," said Dave Kitts, vice president, environment, at Mannington Mills.
