Greenutley - Go Green Initiative
Formed in 2008, Greenutley is the Township of Nutley’s Go Green Committee comprised of the Mayor and Board of Commissioners, representatives from all five township departments and community members. The committee is currently under the auspices of Commissioner Dr. Joseph P. Scarpelli and the Department of Public Works.
Through education, events, and activities, Greenutley is raising awareness of the importance of green choices in our everyday lives and providing simple, effective ways for each of us to contribute to the sustainability of our community and our planet, including saving energy, recycling and reducing waste, eating local/organic food, and reducing pollution.

Other Services Provided
- RAKES Program
The RAKES Program (Random Acts of Kindness Extended to Seniors) offers seniors and those who are disabled and unable to rake their leaves an alternative, while at the same time offering high school students an avenue to fulfill their community service commitment for college entry. Residents seeking help must be over 60 and/or be disabled, own and live in the home requiring raking assistance, and be unable to afford help. - Recycling Program within the School District
Assembly programs and classroom visits are presented throughout the school year by the Director of Public Works. The department has also made a concerted effort to promote and increase the visibility of our recycling program in the elementary schools. Besides providing blue plastic bins for all the classrooms, grant money was used to purchase several 30 gallon metal containers with an appealing design that encourage children to recycle.
