On October 23, 2024, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection presented Sustainable Maple Shade with the DEP Recycling Award in the leadership category. Sustainable Maple Shade was recognized for both their outstanding achievement in educational outreach and the multiple recycling initiatives spearheaded by the group. These initiatives include the NexTrex plastic recycling program that has kept over 1,000lbs of plastic out of the municipal waste load. Sustainable Maple Shade member Peg Weber attended the symposium in Neptune, NJ and accepted the award on Sustainable Maple Shade's behalf.
