In November of 2020, Governor Phil Murphy signed a law which prohibits the use of single-use plastic and paper bags in all stores and food service businesses statewide. The law goes into effect May 4, 2022. The new law will be the strongest bag ban in the Nation. Remember to bring your reusable bag(s) when you shop.

Happy Earth Month! The sun is shining (most days), the birds are chirping and the trees and gardens are all waking up. This is such a fun time of year, especially for the Bigs and Littles in the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Atlantic and Cape May Counties mentorship program, because it means they can get outside and enjoy some fresh air together!

ACUA recently helped to clear large debris from an abandoned area known as “Glass Beach” in Ventnor West off Wellington and Swarthmore Avenues.
