New residents should contact Public Works for their designated collection day.
Only receptacles provided by the Township will be collected.
Trash containing recyclable materials will be tagged and left curbside. Your trash container is for regular household trash only. The container has a weight limit of 300 lbs and is assigned to your specific address (remains with the property even if you move). Have your container at the curb and available for collection by or before 6:00 a.m. on your regular collection day.
PLEASE PLACE THE CONTAINER AT THE CURB OR ON THE EDGE OF THE STREET WITH THE LID OPENING FACING THE STREET. DO NOT PLACE THE CONTAINER BEHIND OR NEAR VEHICLES, MAILBOXES OR OTHER CONTAINER (such as recycling) and leave approximately 10 feet between the container and any other objects (recycling, telephone pole, parked cars, mailboxes, hydrants, etc.).
Only regular household trash placed in the container will be collected. Any loose or bagged trash placed next to the container will not be collected. Bulk trash will be collected according to the schedule below. The monthly collection of bulky trash is not for regular or excess sanitary waste.
