TRASH & RECYCLING GUIDELINES

Trash and recycling must be separated in accordance with the New Jersey Source Separation and Recycling Act.

  • Trash and recycling may be placed curbside no earlier than 4:00 PM the evening before collection and no later than 6:00 AM on collection day.

  • Private contractors are responsible for removing construction or demolition debris generated by their work.

Trash Cans

  • Maximum size: 40 gallons
  • Maximum weight: 50 pounds when full
  • Place cans at the curb with the opening facing the street
  • Securely tie all trash bags before placing them in the can
  • Replace damaged cans, especially containers with broken wheels
  • Drill small drainage holes in the bottom of cans to prevent water buildup

Dog Waste

  • Place dog waste in sealed bags inside your own trash can. Do not place pet waste in a neighbor’s trash can
