Being a frequent visitor to the recycling center in Upper Freehold Township, I've become increasingly appalled at the condition of the drop-off area. Recent rains made an already hazardous area a muddy, potholed mess. It is a blatant safety hazard.

Who is responsible for maintaining the conditions and ensuring the safety of the public?

My last visit left me with as much mud on the inside of my vehicle as the outside. Laying down gravel is not the answer; the township should part with some of our tax dollars and pave this area.

The small cost of paving will certainly outweigh a lawsuit when, not if, someone slips and injures themselves while carrying glass to the Dumpster.
