Illegal Dumping Campaign
NIA has campaigned “Illegal Dumping Cleanups” since 2015.
Our Illegal Dumping Campaign targets dumping in the local Trenton community. Illegal dumping poses a number of threats to the city, environment, wildlife, and citizens, in addition to creating other long-term issues.
As of February 2021, NIA has cleaned up over 45 illegal dumping sites throughout the city. A variety of people volunteer with us: Trenton residents, The College of New Jersey Bonners and students, Rider University Bonners, local politicians and activists, local businesses, Trenton Police, and more!
Visit our Instagram @NIA_of_NJ to see photos of our cleanups and to learn more about the impact of illegal dumping!
