As Veterans Day approaches, the Transportation and Properties Division of the City of Linden has Illuminated City Hall, The John T. Gregorio Center and the Linden Multi-Purpose center in green lighting as part of the Operation Green Light Initiative. Lighting the buildings in green lets our Veterans know that they are seen, appreciated and supported. More information on Operation Green Light can be found here.
Aries Clean Technologies, a leader in biosolids gasification, announced that its facility in Linden, New Jersey, has demonstrated extended stable operations. Rather than the traditional landfill or incineration approach to disposing of wastewater sludge, Aries’ fluidized bed gasification captures the energy in the biosolids to power the plant’s drying process. This circular method reduces local pollution, improves the region’s carbon footprint, and creates cleaner communities across the metropolitan New York and New Jersey area. Watch this video to hear from Mayor Derek Armstead and from Aries personnel about this critical project, and how this and similar efforts are helping to save Planet Earth.

Residents in multiple New Jersey municipalities have reported receiving suspicious phone calls from individuals impersonating police officers. These suspects are spoofing the phone number they are calling from, and displaying the respective police department’s phone number.
Reports state that the suspects have a thick accent and are using officer names obtained by searching municipal websites.
As a reminder, never give personal information over the phone, by fax, through the mail, or on the Internet unless you have initiated the contact or you are sure you know who you are dealing with.
If you receive an unsolicited phone call from an individual claiming to be a Linden Police Officer, obtain the caller’s name and disconnect the phone call. Then, call the Linden Police Department directly at (908) 474-8500 to verify the call was legitimate.
If you have fallen victim to this scam and provided your personal information or are a victim of identity theft, please contact the Linden Police Department to file a police report.
Neither the Linden Police Department, nor any police union or organization associated with the Linden Police Department will ever solicit over the phone.
Honor and recognize City of Linden servicemen and women and their families who have served or given their lives to our country in the United States Armed Forces.
