Curbside household trash and recycling collection services are provided for the Township through a contract with a private waste hauler, Republic Waste Services. Collection is performed on different days of the week for different areas. Click here to view the Collection Schedule Map. Please make sure that your household trash is placed at the road by 6:30 am on the day of your collection but no earlier than 6:00 pm the night before. Trash must be in a watertight trash can (with lid & handles) or in a tied trash bag. Cans shall not exceed a 36 gallon capacity nor weigh more than 45 pounds when filled. Do not put trash in cardboard boxes. All cans and recycling bins must be set adjacent to the street, next to the driveway and must be removed from the curb by evening of the collection day.
Items that Republic Waste will not pick up as part of household trash include pesticides, "liquid" paints, gasoline, oil, gas cans, disposable LP gas tanks, cement, rocks, bricks, infectious hospital waste, liquid solvents, glue, car batteries, automotive parts and construction debris of any type.
