Episode 5: Sandy Huber

Yeah, yeah, we’ve heard all the Jersey jokes. “The Armpit of America” and a lot of other stuff. Har-Har. You would think our streets are filled with trash, as we sit it in our diners, smoke cigarettes and gaze at our tire piles. But the true, hard fact is that New Jersey is one of the cleanest states in the nation, and new findings from the New Jersey Clean Communities Council shows that the amount of litter has dropped by 53 percent since 2004. The fearless leader of the council, Sandy Huber, is the latest guest on the Jaffe Podcast, explaining what has been done – and what is being planned – to keep trash in bins, and out of our waterways, roadsides and other places.
