Recycling:

All residents are reminded that recycling is indeed the law, both statewide and locally. But the benefits of recycling should also be seriously considered. By removing recyclables from the regular trash flow, we help save our environment. And each ton of trash that is recycled helps to save tax dollars that would otherwise be spent on rising trash disposal fees.

How to Recycle

* All recyclables should be placed at curbside (not in the street) so that they can be easily identified by the collection crews.

* Your trash and recyclables must be put out no earlier than 4:00 P.M. the day prior to collection day, but no later that 5:00 A.M. on the collection day.

Recycling Containers

* New residents should pick-up a container at the Township Municipal Building, 856-228-4000, in the Mayor's Office.

* Residents that need additional containers may pick them up in the Mayor's Office at the Township Municipal Building.

Recycling is the Law!

All residents are reminded that recycling is mandatory statewide. By removing recyclables from the regular trash flow, we help save our environment and save tax dollars that would otherwise be spent on trash disposal fees.

All recyclables should be placed at curbside (not in the street) so that the collection crews can easily identify them on your BI-WEEKLY recycling day.

The yellow, 20-gallon bucket supplied by the Township is required or a bucket with handles no larger than 32-gallons for glass, metal and plastic recyclables (No plastic bags). All containers should be empty and rinsed, loose caps or lids should be discarded and labels need not be removed. Please keep brush, leaves, and grass separate from these recyclables.

GLASS CONTAINERS that were previously used for food or beverages. The containers may be clear, brown, or green glass, but do not include: auto glass, ceramics, drinking glasses, window glass, mirrors, light bulbs or any broken glass.

METAL CONTAINERS refers to aluminum, tin or bi-metal food and beverage containers, but do not include: aerosol cans, coat hangers, pots, pans or scrap metals.

PLASTIC CONTAINERS that display either #1, #2, #4, #5, #7 inside the triangle recycling emblem on the bottom. These containers could have been used for juice, soda, water, milk and laundry detergent, but do not include: anti freeze or oil containers, butter tubs, flower pots, laundry buckets, plastic bags, plastic plates or utensils, syringes, vinyl and 5-gallon pails.
