In this video op-ed, Assemblymen Nelson T. Albano and Matthew W. Milam (both D-Cumberland/Atlantic/Cape May) discuss their legislation to enhance the penalties associated with illegally dumping medical waste in New Jersey.
The two-bill package was crafted after several South Jersey beaches were forced to close before Labor Day weekend following the discovery of illegally dumped medical waste that had washed ashore. As many as 225 syringes and other medical waste were found in Avalon - leading borough officials to close beaches four times. Syringes also washed ashore in Berkeley, Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Brigantine and Upper Township.
