NJDEP Continues Crackdown on Illegal Dumping

Launched in March 2014, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) “Don’t Waste Our Open Space” campaign has been taking steps to reduce and eliminate illegal dumping of construction debris, motor vehicle parts, and other materials on state-owned natural lands. The DEP has announced several incidents resulting in charges against violators since the crackdown began, most recently just over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.  The DEP reports that since the launch of their strict enforcement of the campaign this past spring, twenty-eight (28) arrests or enforcement actions have taken place.

The “Don’t Waste Our Open Space” campaign is meant to help prevent illegal dumping as well as raising the public’s awareness of the problem. The DEP is relying on motion-sensitive cameras in state parks and wildlife management areas to help find violators and monitor these at-risk areas.

Our Attorneys
What clients are saying about us
  • "I highly recommend this law firm because they were responsive and sensitive to my needs and won. I chose this firm after having talked to 6 other firms because within minutes of contacting them I was able to speak to Mr. Lieberman himself. Mr. Lieberman and the junior attorneys did not make me feel small just because I am an individual, a mother, and not a big corporation. My phone calls & emails were returned promptly. They listened to exactly what I wanted & delivered. The defendant was nasty and ignored us and at times I felt like this was going nowhere. The attorneys worked well to reach a settlement that exceeded my expectations. Mr. Lieberman is a very seasoned lawyer who has compassion for his clients. The best thing about Mr. Lieberman is that he trains his staff to have that same level of compassion and respect for clients. " - Z.B., Jersey City, NJ

  • "I would like to personally thank Lieberman & Blecher for their help and advice to my family in dealing with an environmental cleanup issue. When it is a big company and their legal team against a small property owner, I have learned that you need an expert to protect your property and your rights. The team at Lieberman & Blecher did this for my family in a professional and cost effective manner. I would certainly recommend this firm to anyone in need of legal assistance" - C.K., Woodbridge, NJ
