Ridgewood NJ, Approximately 50 gallons of cooking oil spilled into a Village of Ridgewood municipal parking lot on Wednesday morning, 06/28. Officials from the Village’s Health, Police, Fire, Engineering, and Sanitation departments responded to investigate the incident. Fire department personnel applied an absorbent material to the affected surface areas and a private contractor was called to undertake a thorough clean up process. It is believed that 55 gallon drum containing the cooking oil was inadvertently knocked over by a refuse removal contractor trying to access a nearby garbage dumpster.
