any local environment groups

I am looking for groups that do volunteer work for the environment locally such as collecting recycling programs, cleaning up parks, etc.

are there any groups like that in the area?

Great Swamp Watershed Association.  Basking Ridge.

Trail maintenance. Next one is in November.

I'm more looking for groups that do things within residential/commercial areas/small local parks (for an adult)...not focused on just one area.

Maplewood has/had? an adopt a park program where volunteers helped pick up litter in an assigned sector.  Not sure if it still exists.  Is this the sort of thing you had in mind?

You could volunteer with a cat rescue. Best way to recycle!
