A year ago, with no study in hand, every candidate at a public forum was asked about elementary redistricting. The district has since done the study. Now, in another election, the issue has largely disappeared from the public conversation.

Six varsity teams played twelve contests in six days as fall sports opened in East Brunswick. Field hockey and girls tennis both started 2-0 without conceding a goal or a flight, football rallied from behind to win 36-19, and goalkeeper Caylin Docherty made 18 saves across two girls soccer matches. Every East Brunswick varsity sport, August 30 through September 5, 2026.

East Brunswick has been paid for hosting the landfill every year since 1985 — about $4.5 million in 2026. It has also been on the receiving end of thirty years of odour complaints, a withdrawn plan to dig up old waste, two federal settlements and a school evacuation nearly four miles away. The final part of a four-part Eyes on EB series.

The original Edgeboro landfill had a legal end date written into a state permit in January 1984: December 31, 1992. It did not operate beyond it. It was capped, and it is still there — underneath a second landfill, separately permitted, built on top of it. Part 3 of a four-part Eyes on EB series.
