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.

RESIDENTIAL PAPER refers to newspaper and all of its inserts, catalogs, chipboard (beer & soda cartons, cereal boxes, gift boxes, greeting cards, paper toilet/towel rolls, any light weight cardboard not contaminated by food products or grease), computer paper, envelopes, junk mail, magazines, non-metallic wrapping paper, office paper, shredded paper (in brown bag taped or stapled shut), text books (without hard covers), and work books. All residential paper should be put in a paper bag, small container or tied with string (No plastic bags). Also, all types of corrugated cardboard that are not waxed or coated are recyclable but these must be flattened to no larger than 3 feet by 2 feet. Do not include: foil or wax coated cardboard (ice cream containers and orange juice cartons), napkins, paper cups, plates, towels, tissues or food stained paper or cardboard.

Do not mix glass, metal and plastic recyclables with your residential papers.

BRUSH must be cut into 4-foot lengths and tied into bundles not to exceed 40 pounds each (as per Ordinance Chapter 58A). Brush will be collected by Public Works during the week that includes a section's regular recycling day with the exception of Friday which will be picked up on Thursday.

STUMPS are collected every 3-4 weeks. Residents are to notify the Public Works Department at 228-3144 prior to pick up.

GRASS CLIPPINGS are collected WEEKLY for seven and a half months, from March 15 to October 31 (maximum of 20 bags per week) on the same day of week as your regular recycling day; and on your regular recycling day from November 1st to the end of the grass season. Clippings should be put in a small container with handles (maximum weight 40 pounds) or a trash bag and left untied.

LEAVESwill be collected as follows: January 1 to March 14 - regular recycling day; March 15 to October 31 - weekly grass day (maximum of 20 bags per week); and November 1 to December 31 is the fall leaf schedule. Residents are reminded to rake their leaves to the curbside only during the fall leaf schedule.

DIRT/SOD & GARDEN/LAWN DEBRIS (mulch, pulled grass/weeds, plants, and twigs) must be in a separate bag or container from grass/leaves. This collection by Public Works is on regular recycling day with the exception of Friday which will be picked up on Thursday.

OTHER RECYCLABLES REFRIGERATORS, FREEZERS AND AIR CONDITIONERS are collected every Wednesday. Residents are urged to call the Public Works Department in advance at 228-3144 for scheduling pickup at curbside. Please remove refrigerator and freezer doors prior to leaving appliance at curbside.

CONCRETE, BRICK OR RUBBLE may also be disposed of at the Public Works garage, but there is no curbside pick-up of this material. Residents must show the office personnel proof of Township residency and job-site verification.
